John Stockton was in the inaugural Hoops set, and the 1989-90 set that produced his #140 card represents his second year in the Hoops brand. The Utah Jazz had drafted Stockton in the first round of the 1984 NBA Draft out of Gonzaga University – 16th overall – and while his early seasons showed flashes of what he would become, the partnership with Karl Malone that developed from the mid-1980s forward was only beginning to reach its full expression by the time the 1989 Hoops set captured him. PSA certified this 1989 Hoops #140 at 10 Gem Mint, the highest possible grade on their scale – an extraordinary standard to achieve on a 35-plus year old card from a mass-market production run. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏀 John Stockton played 19 seasons for the Utah Jazz without ever changing teams – a commitment to a single franchise that is nearly unique in the NBA era of free agency and movement. He retired in 2003 holding the all-time records for career assists (15,806) and career steals (3,265) by margins that no player has seriously threatened in the decades since. His partnership with Karl Malone produced 20 consecutive playoff appearances, two NBA Finals appearances (1997, 1998), 10 All-Star selections, and two Olympic gold medals. The Basketball Hall of Fame inducted him in 2009. This 1989 Hoops #140 in PSA 10 Gem Mint captures him in the early years of a career that would define statistical excellence at the point guard position for generations.
