Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Of the 343 examples graded by PSA to date, only two cards have ever been graded higher. Exceptionally crisp ultra-high-grade rookie card of Bobby Hull, arguably the greatest hockey player ever, from the 1958-1959 Topps Hockey set. The 1958-1959 Topps hockey issue in general is very condition-sensitive, but the Bobby Hull rookie card is especially difficult to find in high grade as it was assigned the final card number (#66) of the set. The offered example is centered just a hint to the right with four sharp corners, bright colors, and a flawless image. Clean, boldly printed reverse. High-grade Hull rookies are offered with much less frequency than other Hall of Fame rookie cards or stars from this popular set, making this an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an attractive specimen of this key card. Outstanding ultra-high-grade example of one of hockey-card collecting's most iconic cards. Reserve $10,000. Estimate $20,000+.
