Playing in parts of five (5) seasons in the Quebec Senior Hockey League before cracking the lineup of Les Canadiens where he would become one of the best goaltenders and innovators the National Hockey League had ever seen at that point in time, Jacques Plante would go on to play in over 800 NHL games, winning a total of six (6) Stanley Cups, seven (7) Vezina Trophy's and a Hart Memorial Trophy among numerous other awards and accomplishments. Suiting up for the likes of Montreal, New York, St. Louis, Toronto and Boston in the NHL and Edmonton in the WHA, offered here is this group of seven (7) 1958-59 to 1975-76 Parkhurst and O-Pee-Chee hockey cards of the famed netminder. Paced in terms of age by a copy of his 1958-59 Parkhurst card that shows him still in the famed red, white and blue of Montreal over the front, the cardboard is found in the vicinity of VG-EX to EX shape with corner wear all the way around. Moving into the 1970s, both his 1970-71 (top left border bend) and 1972-73 (slight corner fuzz and a print mark) OPC examples are in the realm of EX condition while an additional copy of his 1972-73 OPC card is seen as being in the neighbourhood of VG-EX to EX due to a bottom right corner ding and a light corner wear. For cards from his years in the WHA, 1973-74 offerings total two (2) with one around the range of EX to EX-MT due to light corner wear and the other closer to FR because of creases while lastly, a 1975-76 OPC WHA card is around EX-MT to NM with 80-20 centering. Additionally, also included with the lot is an early-1970s Toronto Maple Leafs postcard of the 1978 HHOF inductee and an August 1962 issue of "Sport Revue" that has Plante on the cover.
