Somewhat fascinating is the thought of this Maurice Richard card being pulled from a Parkhurst pack just a few months after the famous Richard Riot, with the Rocket's suspension late in the 1954-55 season resulting in him not winning the scoring title or the Canadiens the Stanley Cup, (along with much damage on Ste. Catherine street!). Richard and the Habs embarked on the '55-56 campaign extra-motivated and proceeded to win a still-record five consecutive Cup titles. The Rocket's 422 goals to start the season are mentioned on the back here, as well as the suspension. Scoring EX-MT 6 at PSA is this card #37, trailing only that of Jacques Plante's rookie in terms of importance/value in the challenging and ever-popular '55-56 Parkie set. We cannot detect any scratches/flaws in the holder itself.
