Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/20/2022
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. The offered card recently received a mark of 5 EX from KSA, with a top left corner ding resulting in what some would consider a small crease and visible wear to the other corners being the grade-lowering flaws. A couple of vertical scratches in the holder, rising up from the bottom edge, are to mention. It should also be noted that the grading standards followed by KSA may not correspond to those of PSA, BGS or SGC. The outcome of an attempted cross-over of this card through any of those services therefore would be uncertain and cannot be guaranteed.
