Somewhat fascinating is the thought of this Maurice Richard card being pulled from a Parkhurst pack just a few months after the famous Richard Riot, with the Rocket's suspension late in the 1954-55 season resulting in him not winning the scoring title or the Canadiens the Stanley Cup, (along with much damage on Ste. Catherine street!). Richard and the Habs embarked on the '55-56 campaign extra-motivated and proceeded to win a still-record five consecutive Cup titles. The Rocket's 422 goals to start the season are mentioned on the back here, as well as the suspension. Scoring a mark of EX 5 from the graders at PSA, with this, card #37 in the set, trailing only hat of Jacques Plante's rookie in terms of importance/value in the challenging and ever-popular '55-56 Parkie set. Light faded to the red at the bottom front is of note along with light wear to the corners and light toning/surface marks to the front and back. The PSA holder displays in fantastic condition with just the odd light scratch over both sides.
