1986 Fleer #12 Manute Bol PSA 9 – The Towering Shot-Blocker Who Became a Basketball Icon

Manute Bol wasn’t just tall—he was unforgettable. At 7’7”, he became one of the tallest players in NBA history, but what truly set him apart was his incredible timing, wingspan, and instincts on the defensive end. Bol didn’t just block shots—he erased them. In his rookie season with the Washington Bullets, Bol led the league with an astonishing 397 blocks, a mark that still stands among the most dominant defensive campaigns ever recorded. He redefined what rim protection could look like, all while becoming a fan favorite for his charisma, humility, and one-of-a-kind presence.

Card #12 from the 1986 Fleer set features Bol during his historic rookie season, towering over the opposition and framed in the bold red, white, and blue that defines the series. This PSA 9 example is beautifully preserved, with vibrant coloring, sharp corners, a clean surface, and strong centering—a standout specimen of one of the most unique players in basketball history.
