1986 Fleer #106 Steve Stipanovich PSA 9 – A Promising Big with Touch, Toughness, and Timing

Steve Stipanovich brought size, skill, and poise to the center position during a time when the NBA was packed with frontcourt talent. Drafted second overall in 1983, “Stipo” made an immediate impact with the Indiana Pacers—stretching defenses with his mid-range shooting, rebounding at a high clip, and providing smart positional defense. By the time of this 1986 Fleer release, he was averaging a near double-double and looked every bit the part of a long-term franchise cornerstone, until injuries prematurely ended his career.

This PSA 9 example features a clean, well-centered image of Stipanovich in Pacers gold, framed by the classic red, white, and blue border of the 1986 Fleer set. The card displays crisp corners, vivid color, and a sharp surface—making it a standout in high-grade condition for collectors completing the checklist or targeting talented bigs from the ‘80s.
