Serious collectors have some serious contemplating to do in regards to this encapsulated high grade treasure. The coveted rookie card of the man whose name always comes up when hockey historians debate who the all-time greatest goaltender is merited a lofty and tantalizing mark of NM-MT 8 at PSA, with bold colors and text among its attributes. Winnipeg-born Terry Sawchuk had been named the NHL's Calder Trophy winner as rookie-of-the-year the season prior to appearing on his rookie card, his 11 shutouts, sub 2.00 goals-against-average and 44-13-13 won-loss-tied record highly impressive. This card's standing at PSA is also impressive, with company numbers revealing that just 24 of over 400 (430 as of September, 2020) Sawchuk RCs to be submitted to the firm since its inception have edged this one, a Pop 58. One GEM MT 10, eight MINT 9s and nine NM-MT+ 8.5s show up on the famous PSA Population Report. The NHL shutout king for decades was Terry, with this Sawchuk a '51-52 Parkie kingpin in ultra-delectable condition and awaiting your Sawchuk/RC/Parkie shrine.
The older PSA holder has been well cared for, with however one scratch on the front to be aware of; a diagonal affair to the right of the card’s text and not affecting the card’s image.
