Five men who began their Hall of Fame careers in a Detroit Red Wings uniform star in this intriguing ensemble, with four coveted 1951-52 Parkies looking swell indeed with first-rate autographs. Ted Lindsay used blue ballpoint to pen his signature, adding his number "7" and "H.H.O.F. 66", while a fine blue felt-tip pen was used by Red Kelly, (also number and HOF year inscribed), Alex Delvecchio and Marcel Pronovost. As for card condition, the crease-free Lindsay RC is definitely short, the Kelly, (also crease-free) appears narrow, with evidence of scrapbook removal on the back, the Delvecchio has a crease in the lower right corner region and the crease-free Pronovost has a VG-EX appearance. A dandy black ink Norm Ullman autograph, along with HOF inscription, graces his EX-looking '57-58 Topps RC and contributes to an appealing lot.
Classic Auctions is pleased to offer an exceptional collection of autographed hockey rookie cards, all of which have been encapsulated by PSA and certified “Authentic.” An area of the hobby which has gone under-appreciated and which has tremendous growth potential is that of the signed rookie card, when one considers the comparatively miniscule amount of vintage rookie cards which feature autographs. Our consignor’s sensational stash includes a marvelous array of Hall-of-Famers and stars. The fact that the pictured players handled and autographed the cards is indeed intriguing and thought-provoking. Please note that the cards themselves are not PSA-graded and that we’ve done our best to give an accurate account of their condition, with however no returns accepted in regards to condition details, as understandably, minute grade-lowering flaws may not be visible through PSA holders. Good luck with this outstanding collection.
