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 7 housed in an old school PSA holder that light wear via a small handful scratches and scuffs over both sides bested by only 65 other examples out of the 310 submitted to PSA since the company’s inception. A wonderful and highly desirable high-grade offering from one of the best to ever play and pioneer the position, the card shows wonderful colours, sharp corners, smooth edges and clean surfaces that surely help contribute equally to its given designation. 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.
