Parkhurst’s “giant” cards released during the 1953-54 season not only increased significantly in size from the company’s previous issues but also in beauty, in the opinion of most hobbyists, with an attractive gathering on the auction block here. The key Jean Beliveau rookie card and Gordie Howe’s entry recently both received marks of 6 ENM from KSA, with Tim Horton’s second-year Parkie at 5 EX and the other slabbed segment (Maurice Richard, Gump Worsley RC and Terry Sawchuk) coming back in holders labeled “4 VGE.” Rather uniform crease-free similar condition can be anticipated amid the raw representatives, with however a tiny corner crease sending 30-Lach & Richard to VG+ and 56-Bathgate RC (VG) another notable condition exception, its two small creases and miscut back to mention. We spot some suspect narrow or short cards, suggesting trimming but as vintage card collectors know, sizes were not exactly the same throughout production. In short, gorgeous, mostly crease-free images featuring Original Six era stars and supporting cast members will be coming your way if you’re the high bidder here.
