1992 Topps #362 Shaquille O’Neal PSA 9 – A Sharp, High-Grade Rookie of a Generational Big Man
When Shaquille O’Neal entered the NBA in 1992, he was an unstoppable physical force that the league hadn’t seen in decades. At 7'1" and over 300 pounds, Shaq had the strength to bully defenders in the paint and the agility to run the floor like a forward. His rookie season with the Orlando Magic was a preview of dominance to come—averaging 23.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks, he was a unanimous Rookie of the Year, instantly becoming a household name and setting the tone for a Hall of Fame career that would include four NBA championships and three Finals MVPs.
This 1992 Topps #362 Shaquille O’Neal rookie card is a PSA 9 example, offering collectors a crisp, high-grade version of one of the most iconic rookie cards of the era. The Topps design is clean and timeless, capturing Shaq in his early Magic uniform during a moment of raw energy and promise. With strong centering, vivid color, and sharp edges, this PSA 9 stands just a step below gem mint—making it a fantastic choice for collectors who want quality without the premium of a PSA 10.
