One the most coveted hockey rookie cards of all, that of Gordon Howe, is among the headliners of our consignor's wonderful, years-in-the-making high grade 1951-52 Parkhurst set, with all 105 cards encapsulated. The set is being sold in a set vs. (four) individual lot format, with further details below. One of the four lots, this Howe RC has an image of Gordie right of center and has been assessed an inviting mark of NM 7 by SGC. The star right winger's 43 goals, 43 assists and 86 points listed below his famous image procured Howe his first of six career NHL scoring titles (Art Ross Trophy), the first of four consecutive scoring championships. Another 86 points, including 47 goals, were among Gordie's numbers the same season as his rookie cards were discovered in Parkhurst packs. The Red Wings' playoff run to the Stanley Cup in the spring of 1952 featured two four-game sweeps and has contributed to hockey observers over the years to naming Howe and his '51-52 Detroit teammates as one of the most powerful teams of all-time. One of the most powerfully inspiring rookie cards of all-time awaits a new appreciative home.
