Graded VG/EX 4 by SGC. Exceptionally crisp and clean 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. This example offers bold colors, near-perfect centering, and honest corner wear. A light surface crease on back accounts for the assigned grade. Clean, boldly printed reverse. It is not often that we are presented with the opportunity to offer this card, and this is a particularly pleasing mid-grade example of one of hockey-card collecting's most iconic cards. Reserve $300. Estimate $500+.
