Always popular and talked about highly among those collectors that chase vintage offerings, Parkhurst’s inaugural hockey release from the 1951-52 season is up for grabs here in starter set form with 45 of the 105 cards that make up the checklist being included. A release that features both options and rookie cards galore throughout its entirety, the grouping offered here is missing the key "big bucks" first-year examples of 4-Richard, 61-Sawchuk and 66-Howe and is as well void of the rookie cards of 10-Harvey, 14-Geoffrion, 37-Gadsby, 48-Bentley, 49-Mosienko, 55-Kelly, 56-Lindsay, 63-Delvecchio and 94-Stanley. Still sporting some of the National Hockey League's most prominent names of the era through the cards that are included, the grouping, found mostly to be in a low-grade condition state throughout, includes the cards of 1-Lach (FR to G - worn with creases and corner wear/rounding), 7-Johnson (PR to FR - worn with creases and corner wear/rounding), 15-McNeil ("AUTHENTIC" - heavily creased and worn - has a tear), 26-Quackenbush (FR to G - worn - rounded corners - multiple creases), 47-Lumley (FR to G - worn - rounded corners - numerous creases - pencil mark on the reverse), 52-Barilko/Winning Goal (FR to G - worn - rounded corners - numerous creases), 68-Pronovost (GOOD - light crease and corner wear), 70-Watson ("AUTHENTIC" - worn - torn - ink mark at top border), 75-Broda ("AUTHENTIC" - worn - torn at right edge), 86-Kennedy (FR to G - worn - creases and rounded corners) and 104-Rayner ("AUTHENTIC" - worn - torn - faded - numerous creases and rounded corners). For the rest of the group, seventeen (17) cards are seen as being in the scope of FR to G condition, fifteen (15) are viewed as being in the neighbourhood of PR to FR and finally, one (1) presents in the proximity of "AUTHENTIC".
