1986 Fleer #68 Karl Malone PSA 9 – The Mailman Delivers His Rookie Arrival

The 1986 Fleer #68 Karl Malone card marks the official cardboard debut of one of the most dominant power forwards in NBA history. Known as “The Mailman” for his relentless consistency and physical style of play, Malone was already flashing signs of greatness during his rookie season with the Utah Jazz. Over the next two decades, he would build a staggering résumé: two MVP awards, 14 All-Star selections, and over 36,000 career points—second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the time of his retirement. From mid-range jumpers to bruising drives in the post, Malone brought an unmatched blend of strength and finesse.

This PSA 9 example is a highly coveted rookie from the iconic 1986 Fleer set. The card features a strong in-action image of Malone establishing position, surrounded by the instantly recognizable red, white, and blue border. Boasting bold colors, excellent centering, and sharp corners, this high-grade specimen stands out as a foundational piece in any serious collection.

Malone's rookie card remains a key pillar of the 1986 Fleer lineup, offering long-term appeal not just for Utah Jazz collectors, but for anyone pursuing the era’s most important rookie issues. It’s the kind of card that still delivers—just like The Mailman.
