1952-53 Parkhurst NHL Hockey Cards

The 1952-53 Parkhurst NHL set consists of 105 hockey cards featuring players from all ‘Original 6’ teams in the league at the time. The most valuable rookie card in the collection belongs to Tim Horton of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The first year cards of Dickie Moore, George Armstrong and Leo Boivin are also significant.

Headlining the set are the usual suspects for the era: Maurice Richard, Gordie Howe and Terry Sawchuk with both the Richard and Howe cards valued at over $1,000. The number 3 card of Bernie Geoffrion is documented as an uncorrected error (UER) with his last name misspelt Gioffrion on the front.

The number 105 card of Bob Hassard is valued at more than four times that of a common card on scarcity alone. This is the first of only two cards ever produced for Hassard. He played a total of 126 National Hockey League games between 1949-50 and 1954-55 with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Black Hawks.
