John Stockton is a former professional basketball player known for his career with the Utah Jazz in the NBA. He played for the team from 1984 to 2003 and is considered one of the greatest point guards in NBA history. Stockton holds the NBA records for most career assists and steals, with 15,806 assists and 3,265 steals.
Throughout his career, Stockton was a ten-time NBA All-Star, a member of the All-NBA First Team twice, and the All-NBA Second Team six times. He helped lead the Jazz to the playoffs every year he played and was instrumental in the team’s two appearances in the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998.
Some of Stockton’s career highlights include his incredible passing ability, his durability and consistency as a player, and his role in forming one of the most successful and memorable duos in NBA history alongside Karl Malone. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009 and his number 12 jersey was retired by the Utah Jazz. Overall, Stockton’s basketball career is marked by his remarkable skill, longevity, and impact on the game.
Currently there are nearly 300 copies of John Stockton’s 1988 Fleer rookie card that have been autographed and authenticated by PSA. Roughly a third of them were graded a PSA 9. Historically, John Stockton has been a tough autograph to acquire. Less than a year ago, the PSA population count was around 10 and autographed copies were selling for $5,000+. However, about 6 months ago, he did his first ever paid signing which saw the population count increase significantly. I chose not to participate in the signing and waited until I was able to buy one online after the pricing stabilized.
