We start 2025 with one of the hobby's premiere vintage hockey cards! This card of the great HOFer, Maurice "Rocket" Richard, is high on collector wish lists for a few reasons. First, it's the 2nd card of the most exciting player of the post-war 6-team league, a legendary Hall of Famer. Secondly, it's a condition sensitive card, as it is the #1 card in the 1952 Parkie set. #1 cards in this era almost always took the brunt of crude storage methods, which frequently saw the use of rubber bands to hold stacks of cards.

This one is graded a clean 5 EX by PSA, the top grader for material such as this. Centering is a common issue with this set, and this one is off-center, top to bottom, but retains clean borders, excellent L-R centering, strong image registration (which can also be a problem in this set), and solid corners. A high-end vintage hockey card that would be a key piece of any personal collection.
