Here are 4 Hall of Famers from the 1955-56 Parkhurst hockey set! Included are #23 Turk Broda OTG, #30 Ace Bailey OTG, #45 Doug Harvey and #71 Plante is Protected, featuring a young Jacques Plante, in his rookie card year. Each has been authenticated and slabbed by one of the premier grading companies, SGC. All however did not meet "minimum size requirements" which prevented them from receiving numerical grades. The issue is Parkhurst really didn't have precise manufacturing methods that would allow for uniform dimensions to be true for all cards they made. Due to crude (by today's standards) cutting methods, they varied from undersized to oversized, if you apply today's assigned sizing. The good thing is these cards were not found to have an evidence of trimming or alteration. So what these are are simply undersized factory legitimate cards. Many in the hobby believe the major card grading companies need to allow for greater variance in sizing where the first four Parkhurst sets are concerned. In any case, here's a great deal on some key cards from a great set.
