Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Among nearly 300 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, just one, lone example has been placed at a higher tier. Gordie Howe will forever be acknowledged as one of the greatest hockey players of all time. Although it's difficult to assess a player's value while crossing generational lines, most students of the game believe that Howe, in his prime, would be just as dominant today as he was in the 1950s. This card displays fabulous picture quality and the image's registration is exceptional. The inherent liabilities of Parkhurst's sometimes-vexing inattention to quality control have been almost wholly overcome in this enviable piece, and essentially negligible evidence of circulation is limited to the tips of the still-sharp corners. A splendid second-year Howe collectible, in Near Mint to Mint condition.
