Very infrequently seen/offered and surely on the want lists of several Parkhurst card collectors wishing to complete a "master" 1953-54 Parkie set is this version of Fleming Mackell's card #91. Most Mackell cards do not contain any bio information on the back, reportedly due to the English text of the printing plate being damaged early in the print run in '53-54, and then because of bilingual laws in Canada (minimal amounts of cards with French-only bio were released). An attractive crease-free VG+ example is on the auction block here, with the seldom-seen bio very intriguing in that it erroneously gives Helsinki, Finland as Mackell's place of birth and mistakenly informs of the Boston forward's outstanding rookie award in '48-49. These facts would be true for Finland's Pentti Lund! But then, the write-up is correct in stating that Mackell's performance earned him a berth on the NHL All-Star Team (it was the First Team) in '52-53.
