1966 Philadelphia #23 Jim Parker PSA 9 – A Hall of Fame Lineman’s Vintage Classic
Jim Parker was more than just an offensive lineman—he was a game-changer who set the standard for the position. As the anchor of the Baltimore Colts' offensive line, Parker played a critical role in protecting Johnny Unitas, allowing the Colts' legendary offense to flourish. His ability to dominate in both pass protection and run blocking made him one of the most complete linemen of all time. By 1966, Parker was already an eight-time First-Team All-Pro and had been instrumental in two NFL Championships (1958, 1959). His dominance earned him a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1973, making him the first full-time offensive lineman to receive the honor.
