An intriguing years-in-the-making assembly of 1952-53 Parkies here features numerous pleasing examples, with all but nine grading EX-MT 6 or better – nice! Leading are (26) cards which merited NM 7 recognition, with the Hall of Fame lineup led by Terry Sawchuk and bolstered by 3-Geoffrion, 6-Lach, 14-Harvey (in the most recent of PSA holders), 22-Rayner, 47-Flaman, 53-Delvecchio, 67-Kelly and 87-Lindsay. The last card, 105-Hassard RC is most notable among the other 7s, the numbers being 4, 8, 15, 18, 28, 32, 39, 40, 48, 62, 80, 81, 92, 96, 97 and 104. Just a notch below at EX-MT+ 6.5 are rookie cards of Tim Horton and George Armstrong, along with fellow Leafs/HOFers 44-Kennedy, 46-Watson and 59-Lumley, as well as two commons; 50, 60. The EX-MT 6 representatives total an even 40, with 1-Maurice Richard the definite highlight. Also noteworthy are 12-McNeil, 13-Bouchard, 21-Stanley, 56-Gadsby, 72-Dumart, 74-Henry, 93-Olmstead and 95-M. Bentley. The holder of 2-Reay has a chipped upper right corner, but overall, these have been handled with extreme care, with scratches/flaws very few and far between. Nine other cards, inferior to EX-MT 6, all rest in new PSA holders and are commons, with the exception of the Dickie Moore RC, slabbed VG 3. Please see our website for details of the rest, along with the list of cards required to complete this dynamite ensemble.
At EX+ 5.5 are 75-Klukay and 79-Sullivan, with 65-Leswick at VG-EX+ 4.5 and five cards at VG-EX 4; 5-Gamble, 20-Hergesheimer, 23-Kraftcheck, 66-Pavelich and 83-Lund. Cards not present are #s 19, 25, 27-Mosienko, 31, 33, 34-Boivin RC, 38, 41, 52, 61-Pronovost, 63, 64, 68-Quackenbush, 70-Schmidt, 73, 76, 84, 85, 88-Howe, 89, 94, 101 and 102.
