1960 Topps #5 Jim Parker PSA 9 – A Legendary Protector with Superb Centering

Jim Parker wasn’t just a great offensive lineman—he was a revolutionary force who redefined the left tackle position. A key part of the Baltimore Colts' championship-winning teams, Parker was the ultimate protector for Johnny Unitas, giving the Hall of Fame quarterback the time he needed to carve up defenses. Known for his flawless technique, brute strength, and ability to dominate in both pass protection and run blocking, Parker became the gold standard for offensive linemen. His dominance was unmatched, earning eight consecutive First-Team All-Pro selections and making him the first full-time offensive lineman ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1973.

This 1960 Topps #5 Jim Parker is a gorgeous PSA 9 example, showcasing the bold, classic design of one of Topps’ most beloved football sets. The centering is superb, the corners remain razor-sharp, and the surface is pristine, making this an exceptional high-grade collectible. Early football cards of offensive linemen in high condition are notoriously hard to find, making this a standout piece for collectors who recognize Parker’s impact on the game.
