Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
The luscious colors of Topps’ inaugural hockey issue are offered up here, with a majority of the cards mirroring or in the neighborhood of Terry Sawchuk’s classic #58 card, recently graded EX 5 by PSA. Light corner wear and not creasing is to report with the aforementioned majority, featuring cards in the VG-EX, VG-EX+, EX, EX+ and EX-MT realm and averaging EX. The key Gordie Howe entry is EX in appearance but PSA spotted a trim job (down the left edge) and returned it in a semi-rigid holder with a label that includes “EVID TRIM.” Five condition exceptions have a crease and include 3-Howell and 26-Rollins, while four commons have back damage that does not however affect any of the text. Gordie and Terry and the rest of the Red Wings made it four Stanley Cup championships in six years the season that these cards were found in Topps packs, with Detroit claiming its seventh straight regular season title, a record that still stands. Standing the test of time is Topps’ gorgeous ’54-55 set.
