Off-grade example of this all-time great HOFer's 53 Parkie card (his 3rd card). Kelly won the first Norris Trophy as the league's top defenseman in 1954. With Detroit he was one of the game's most dominant defenders, making 8 all-star teams, winning three Lady Byng Trophies, 4 Stanley Cups, and routinely leading all blueliners in scoring. When he was traded to Toronto in 1960 he changed positions, becoming the pivot for Leafs' young star winger, Frank Mahovlich. Kelly made a seamless transition, becoming one of the top centers in the game and providing the support that allowed Mahovlich to break out to superstar status. He won his fourth Byng with Toronto, as well as 4 Stanley Cups. This one is graded 3 VG by SGC, and is an affordable vintage card of a somewhat underrated star.
