A masterful and captivating master set of 1962-63 Parkhurst hockey cards, featuring sharp corners, smooth edges, vivid original colors and bright white borders/backgrounds, is on the auction block here and will intrigue and tempt lovers of high grade encapsulated cardboard, the assembly led by five examples that were deemed worthy of PSA’s highest mark – GEM MT 10. All-time Maple Leaf great Dave Keon’s second-year Parkie headlines the group that also includes 14-Eddie Shack, 17-Larry Hillman, 27-Val Fonteyne and 34-Sid Abel, while a trio of MINT 9s also have none-higher-in-the-history-of-PSA bragging rights; 1-Billy Harris, 11-Bob Pulford and 46-Gilles Tremblay RC. The Hall of Fame and rookie card lineup that also contributes in MINT 9 form includes 2-Duff, 9-Kelly, 13-Armstrong, 21-Ullman, 32-Delvecchio, 42-Moore, 47-Rousseau RC, 48-Geoffrion, 49-Plante and 54-J.C. Tremblay RC, with a Zip Contest Card also meriting MINT 9 recognition. Completing the fabulous stack of 9s are #s 3, 6, 19. 20, 22, 23, 26, 28, 29, 35, 36, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45 and 52. Five cards slabbed “NM-MT+ 8.5” star 4-Mahovlich and 16-Bower, with others being 12-Litzenberger, 24-LaForge and 50-Johnson. The remainder (15) are NM-MT 8s and are led by 7-Horton, 18-Mahovlich, both Howes (30, 31), 38-Richard, 39-Beliveau, 53-Geoffrion and the (checklist) Tally Card. Other 8s are #s 8, 9, 10, 25, 33, 37 and 51. Additional noteworthy aspects are the number of recent PSA holders (10) and the overall stellar condition of the holders; very limited are those in which a (small) scuff/blemish is detected – our consignor is deserving of kudos for the fashion in which they’ve been cared for. In summary, encapsulated 60-year-old beauties are worthy of ample consideration and will contribute marvelously to a vintage hockey card shrine.
