Among the hobby's all-time classics and most attractive hockey cards are Gordie Howe's 1954-55 Topps and '63-64 Parkhurst issues, with Topps' inaugural eye-catching colors featured here. And what a time in Gordie's career; card #8 informs that after eight seasons he was already regarded by many experts as the greatest hockey player of all-time, having won the NHL scoring championship the previous four seasons. Howe was dethroned by Bernie Geoffrion the season cards like this were issued but in the playoffs, Detroit captured its fourth Stanley Cup in six years. Having been signed by "Mr. Hockey" over the front with a light blue ballpoint pen ink signature that appears light from age but is still easily able to be made out, the autograph has been deemed to be "AUTHENTIC" after inspection by PSA while the card, appearing to be a lower grade example that retains good colours and centering over the front but impacted by edge and corner wear/dings that is heaviest at the top left point. Housed in a PSA holder that remains in excellent condition with just a couple of light scratches and scuffs exhibited over both sides, don't miss out on this vintage signed offering of one of the best to ever play the game for your all-important vintage collection.
