1986 Fleer #80 Norm Nixon PSA 9 – The Other L.A. Point Guard with Championship Pedigree

Before Magic Johnson took full control of the Showtime spotlight, Norm Nixon was orchestrating the Lakers’ offense with poise, quickness, and a sharp mid-range game. A two-time All-Star and a key contributor to the Lakers’ 1980 championship run, Nixon was a proven floor general who could both set the table and take over when needed. By the time of this 1986 Fleer release, he had transitioned to the San Diego (later Los Angeles) Clippers, where he remained one of the more cerebral and skilled veteran guards in the league.

This PSA 9 example delivers strong presentation, featuring Nixon surveying the floor in stride—an image that captures his command and composure. The vibrant tri-color border frames the photo with bold contrast, while the card itself offers sharp corners, clean surfaces, and solid centering. It’s a high-grade representation of a player who quietly helped usher in the Lakers’ era of dominance.
