Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022

One of the nicest 1957-58 Topps Gordie Howe cards ever encapsulated is on the auction block here and will pique the interest of lovers of high grade vintage cardboard. The Red Wings’ superstar was coming off a 44-goal, 89-point season that won him his fifth NHL scoring title when he was featured on card #42, with this sharp, gorgeous example retaining its original vivid colors and meriting a mark of NM/MT+ 8.5 from SGC. That firm’s Pop Report informs that just one “9” edges this Pop 1 out of the (60) ’57-58 Howe cards inspected over the years, while the PSA Population Report tells of just one MINT 9 and another with a qualifier, along with 26 NM-MT 8s, out of over 330 submissions. Some light peripheral scuffs to the SGC holder are to mention but they do not affect the image of the legend in his prime. A prime candidate for a paramount Howe/’57-58 Topps collection is worthy of considerable contemplation.
