1958 Parkhurst #10 Tom Johnson PSA 9 – A Pop 6 Defensive Backbone of a Habs Dynasty with Only 1 Graded Higher

In 1958, Tom Johnson was the unsung engine of the Montreal Canadiens' blueline, anchoring a defense that helped propel the club to its third straight Stanley Cup title. While the spotlight often gravitated toward the offensive firepower of Richard, Moore, and Béliveau, it was Johnson’s composed, calculated presence on the back end that provided the balance. He wasn’t flashy—but he was rock solid. That season, Johnson logged critical minutes, shut down opposing top lines, and chipped in timely offense, all while maintaining the poise that would make him one of the most reliable defensemen of his generation.

The 1958 Parkhurst #10 issue offers a crisp visual tribute to this steady Hall of Famer, featuring a focused portrait set against the bold, solid-color background that defines this beloved Parkhurst release. This PSA 9 example is nothing short of elite—bright colors, exceptional centering, and edges that remain remarkably sharp for a card closing in on seven decades old. Few of these fragile Parkies survive in this kind of condition, making high-grade specimens like this exceedingly difficult to acquire.

Johnson would go on to win six Stanley Cups as a player and later add more behind the bench as a coach and executive. For collectors looking to capture the full picture of the Canadiens dynasty, this pristine PSA 9 is a premium keepsake of the glue guy who kept the whole machine running.
