Graded GOOD+ 2.5 by PSA. Rookie card of Detroit Red Wings Hall of Famer Bobby Orr. 1951-1952 Parkhurst cards typically suffer from a variety of condition problems, including print defects and a tendency to have soft corners, which make high-grade examples particularly difficult to find. The offered example is perfectly centered, with bright colors, a striking image, and light corner wear. The blank-back reverse has light toning. It presents at a level much higher than its technically accurate assigned grade. This is a very attractive example of this important rookie card, which is one of the key cards in the extremely condition-sensitive 1951-1952 Parkhurst set. Reserve $10. Estimate (open).
