This 1992 Topps Shaquille O’Neal Rookie #362 has earned a BGS 9.5 Gem Mint grade. Shaq’s Topps rookie is one of the defining basketball cards of the 1990s, and a gem mint example is a sharp pickup for Magic collectors. Rookie cards from a player’s debut season remain the cornerstone of most player collections.
