A sensational card of a brilliant goalie is up for grabs here, with Jacques Plante grabbing his third of five straight Vezina Trophy wins while backstopping the Canadiens to their third straight Stanley Cup title the season that cards like this were found in Parkhurst packs. Along with that of Maurice Richard, the Plante issue trails only Henri Richard and Frank Mahovlich in terms of importance/value among 1957-58 Parkies, with this example and its mark of NM-MT 8 mark edged by just eight others (six MINT 9s, two NM-MT+ 8.5s) in the history of PSA, with the firm assessing over 300 such cards since its inception. First-rate registration of a wonderful image and an unblemished surface are among the attributes here, with light toning observed. Nicknamed “Jake the Snake” back in the day and curiously identified as “Jake Plante” on the reverse, Jacques in this case will marvelously enhance your vintage encapsulated shrine.
A couple of small light scratches to the PSA holder are mentioned for accuracy but are difficult to detect without magnification.
