Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction December 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/13/2022
Is there any doubt that Robert Marvin Hull was/is the greatest left winger in hockey history? Definitely not in our minds and those of the vast majority of hockey observers/experts/historians. And we love how a Topps writer of the day described teenage Bobby on the back of his coveted 1958-59 rookie card, the text reading "Only 18 when he joined Hawks last year, Bobby is blond husky of brilliant promise." Brilliant indeed in ensuing years was Hull, particularly in the 1960s when he tied and then broke the single-season record for goals, before bettering his own record with an NHL career high of 58 in '68-69. This example of card #66 scored VG-EX 4 upon inspection by PSA, with corner wear/light dings more evident at the bottom two. It is difficult to determine whether a diagonal scratch in the lower part of Hull’s face is on the card or the holder, while a vertical scratch through his ear is definitely on the holder. The rookie card of one of hockey's most feared shots will be a shot to your RC/Hull/vintage card repertoire.
