Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction November 2024
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/3/2024
Making hockey cards for the Canadian market between 1951-52 and 1963-64, Parkhurst cards started the hockey card boom of the "Original Six" era and helped eliminate the void for hockey cards that happened during the 1940s due to wartime rationing. With the company also producing baseball, Canadian football and wrestling cards, as well as those for other subjects, Parkhurst cards are highlighted by the company's 1951-52 release, which featured the key rookie offerings of names such as Gordie Howe, Maurice Richard and Terry Sawchuk among others. Offered here, we present this collection of 125 cards from various Parkhurst releases that date between 1953-54 and 1961-62. Including mostly low-grade offerings, most of the included cards have creases and/or corner wear and/or corner damages while the surfaces of the cards also exhibit wear and/or scuffing and/or scratches as well. Paced by a starter set of the company's 1955-56 release that includes sixty-one (61) of the set's seventy-nine (79) cards plus an extra of card #38 picturing Dickie Moore, all the cards have creases while over twenty (20+) of the cards sport multiple creases and/or heavy creasing as well. With cards 21-Chabot, 56-Vezina, 59-Hainsworth and 63-Durnan having had their corners cut into a rounded shape, cards 29-Kennedy, 38-Moore, 43-Geoffrion, 45-Harvey, 71-Plante Is Protected and 75-Leafs Speedsters Attack have had yellowed pieces of clear tape affixed over their fronts. For the rest of the lot, included are cards from; 1953-54 Parkhurst (26 cards - all have heavily rounded corners and heavy creasing), 1954-55 Parkhurst (23 cards - almost all the cards have multiple or heavy creases while six cards have tape marks/residues over their fronts), 1957-58 Parkhurst (1 card - card #16 of Mike Nykoluk RC which has multiple creases and discoloration), 1959-60 Parkhurst (5 cards - all have multiple/heavy creases) and 1961-62 Parkhurst (9 cards - all have creases with some having heavy creasing). Still some fine vintage cardboard, don't let these pass you by!
