A group of nine (9) cards recently returned from the headquarters of PSA anchors this complete 79-card assembly of Parkhurst’s 1955-56 release. All having been assessed marks that fall between VG-EX 4 and EX-MT 6 aside from a lone NM 7 example of card #72 titled “Rocket Roars Through”, the group is paced by the set’s all-important rookie card of Jacques Plante that has been deemed worthy of a VG-EX 4 designation. For the rest of the slabbed offerings, the cards of HOFers Maurice Richard and Jean Beliveau have both earned VG-EX 4 marks while the old-time greats cards of Georges Vezina and Howie Morenz display grades of EX-MT 6 and EX 5 respectively. The final three cards that have been graded include a copy of card #75 titled “Leaf Speedsters Attack” that has been assessed a grade of EX-MT 6 while the cards both Maple Leaf Gardens and the Montreal Forum have garnered EX 5 designations for their efforts. For the rest of the set, all remaining in raw ungraded form, four (4) standouts make it into the grade range of EX-MT or a tad higher including the cards of 7-Reaume RC, 35-Marshall RC, 38-Moore and 61-Leduc OTG.
