A captivating rookie card of the prolific and iconic Maurice Richard to tantalize the most serious of vintage collectors is offered here, with the Rocket indeed looking magnificent in PSA NM-MT 8 form. The star right winger was "priming" and coming off a 42-goal season the winter that cards like these were discovered in little Parkhurst boxes. He led the NHL in goals five times during his illustrious career, en route to opening the doors to the league's 500-goal club. One of the "big three" of '51-52 RCs with Howe and Sawchuk, this example joins two dozen other 8s on the PSA Population Report, with just two 8.5s and two 9s edging them. The doors of the vault may have to be opened, but oh, to own a PSA 8 Rocket rookie!
