1961 Baltimore Bullets Fleer Basketball Reprints - Gus Johnson, the Baltimore Bullets' explosive forward, appears on this 1961 Fleer card featuring his classic red uniform against a vibrant yellow background. The front displays Johnson in action pose with smaller player sketches in the corners, while the reverse shows his career NBA statistics, biographical information noting his birth in Akron, Ohio, and a charming ”Honeycomb” nickname origin story illustrated in a circular vignette at the bottom. Johnson was a six-time NBA All-Star known for his defensive intensity and rebounding prowess, and this card captures the design aesthetic that defined early 1960s basketball card production. The card shows age-appropriate wear consistent with a six-decade-old example that has seen some use but retains good color and readability throughout.
