Always full of intrigue are 1951-52 Parkhurst assemblies, with quite the assortment of grades, grading companies and raw cards to tell you about here, starting with the key encapsulated cards. Slabbed GOOD 2 by SGC is the Gordie Howe rookie, with Maurice Richard's RC and #52-The Winning Goal recently receiving the same mark from PSA. Leaders in (older) PSA holders are 104-Rayner RC (NM 7) and 56-Lindsay RC (EX 5), with 14-Geoffrion RC and 105-Conacher RC deemed 3.5 VG+ by Beckett. KSA-graded representatives include 86-Kennedy RC (6 ENM), 10-Harvey RC (5 EX)(extremely generous), 76-Rollins RC (5 EX), 47-Lumley RC (4 VGE) and two 3 VGs; 75-Broda and 84-Sid Smith RC. Meanwhile, the raw contributors are highlighted by Terry Sawchuk's crease-free VG-EX rookie, while 1-Lach has similar characteristics but with fading to the text. We would say VG and VG+ cards dominate the rest, while among the lesser lights are a dozen (mostly commons) featuring light back damage. A suspect edge suggests trimming to 15-McNeil RC, with a "short" 94-Stanley RC definitely trimmed, similar to a half-dozen others including 49-Mosienko RC. Still more details are available on our website.
A 55-Red Kelly RC is sharp but with a tad of paper loss on the front, while 63-Delvecchio RC (G) includes a side-to-side crease. Among the few low grade fillers is 3-Bouchard (RC)(torn front, writing on the back). Six graded cards not already mentioned are four PSAs; 38-Dewsbury RC (VG-EX+ 4.5), 51-Babando RC (VG-EX 4), 19-Henry RC (VG 3) and 13-Reay RC (GOOD+ 2.5), while BVG-slabbed cards are 44-McFadden RC (3 VG) and 12-Curry RC (2.5 G-VG). The one card not present is 82-Thompson RC. Much to ponder and lots of possibilities with this pieced-together '51-52 Parkie bonanza.
