Hailing from a season in which the Montreal Canadiens would win their fourth of five straight Stanley Cup championships from 1956-60, up for grabs here is this complete assembly of Parkhurst’s 1958-59 release totalling 50-cards and featuring classic Original Six star power from both of the NHL’s Canadian franchises. Found to be a solid mid-grade assembly made up of cards mostly seen as being in the realm of VG to VG-EX, the list of key cards is paced by EX to EX-MT range copies of card's 38-M. Richard (tiny print dot bottom border), 42-Horton, 46-Bower and 49-Harvey while the cardboard of #22-Plante (small ding bottom right) and 39-Action Around the Net (tiny ding at bottom left corner) falls into the scope of EX for their efforts. Also including VG to VG-EX cards of 1-Pulford (bottom right corner wear/ding), 2-H. Richard (corner wear), 11-An Object of Interest (corner wear), 33-Mahovlich (corner wear) and 34-Beliveau (stain on reverse - front appears EX-MT), the rest of the keys are rounded out by a G to VG copy of card #26 titled "Plante Catches a Shot" (surface and corner wear), and a FR to G example of card #21 titled "All Eyes on Puck" (creases). For the rest of the set, cards in the vicinity of EX to EX-MT include 27-Olmstead, 31-Cullen, 41-Talbot and 47-Goyette while VG-EX cards feature the likes of 10-Johnson, 13-Nevin, 20-Reaume, 28-Geoffrion, 29-Duff, 32-Bonin, 43-Provost and 48-Armstrong. Continuing on with VG to VG-EX range cards of 4-Harris, 7-"Armstrong Breaks Through", 8-Moore, 12-Chadwick, 14-Stewart, 15-Baun, 16-Backstrom, 17-Hodge, 18-Aldcorn, 25-Reay, 30-McDonald, 36-"Barry Cullen Shoots", 37-Kraftcheck, 44-Marshall, 45-Pulford, and 50-Cullen, the set is capped off with G to VG examples of 3-Pronovost, 5-Langlois, 6-Price, 9-Blake, 19-Marshall, 35-"Canadiens on Guard" and 40-Turner plus FR to G neighbourhood cards of 23-Stanley and 24-Ian Cushenan.
