1986 Fleer #56 Vinnie Johnson PSA 9 – Instant Offense from Detroit’s Microwave

Vinnie Johnson earned his nickname “The Microwave” for good reason—he had a rare ability to heat up instantly and deliver buckets in bunches. As a key sixth man for the Detroit Pistons, Johnson played a critical role in shaping the identity of the "Bad Boys" era. Known for his muscular frame, explosive first step, and fearless shot-making, he gave Detroit scoring punch off the bench during their rise to dominance in the late 1980s. By the time of this 1986 Fleer issue, Johnson was firmly established as one of the premier bench scorers in the league.

This PSA 9 example captures the dynamic guard in stride, framed by Fleer’s iconic red, white, and blue border with sharp visual clarity. The card boasts bold coloring, well-preserved corners, and clean surface detail—an excellent example from one of the most condition-sensitive sets in basketball history. The centering is strong, giving balance to a well-framed in-action image.
