Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022

Lovers of high grade vintage cards are once again well served this time around, with Jacques Plante’s 1961-62 Parkie offered up here in enticing NM-MT 8 form. After their record run in the last half of the 1950s, Jacques and the Canadiens had been dethroned in ’60-61 but in ’61-62 when kids/collectors were busting Parkhurst packs, Plante had a stellar season, not only recapturing the Vezina Trophy but also being awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy as league MVP, only the fourth goalie to win MVP honors and the first to accomplish a same-season “double.” A light corner touch or two appear to be the only flaws that denied this stellar card an even higher grade, with the PSA Population Report revealing that 222 such cards have been graded by the company over the years, with 27 scoring higher than NM-MT 8.
A few small light scratches to the front of the PSA holder are limited mostly to the left edge and do not affect the image of innovator extraordinaire Jacques.
