In the pantheon of Bill Russell cardboard, his #62 In Action (“Takes to the Air”) from 1961 Fleer stands as the third most important behind his ’57 Topps rookie and ’61 Fleer base cards. The Celtics legend is pictured mid-air doing a smooth finger-roll over two defenders. Freshly-graded NM-MT 8 by PSA, this card also received an “OC” designation for its thin right border. The off-center qualifier seems just, but the card’s other features all appear Mint 9 in our book. Sharp corners, consistently straight edges, clean print definition and a smooth surface (front and back) make this example a rare find.
