1951 Parkhurst Partial Set (91/105) in Scrapbook

A recent find from a single owner collection, this hockey scrapbook was accumulated by a passionate hockey fan in the early 1950s and has remained in their possession until being offered here. The book includes 91/105 cards from the 1951 Parkhurst hockey set, including key hall of fame rookies Gordie Howe and Maurice Richard. It is important to note that zero attempt has been made to remove cards from the scrapbook. The set is missing card #38 Dewbury, #39 Martin, #43 Lee, #48 Bentley, #49 Mosienko, #52 The Winning Goal, #53 Stewart, #57 Skov, #60 Stasiuk, #61 Sawchuk, #75 Broda, #77 Juzda, #80 Flaman, and #84 Smith. The two most significant missing cards being Terry Sawchuk and The Winning Goal. The scrapbook is a thin paper stock and cards have been organized by team beginning with Montreal and ending with Chicago. The scrapbook begins with five pages of Maple Leaf Gardens and other calendar cutouts before getting to the cards within the 1951 set. Interestingly, this scrapbook was compiled by former Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings prospect Keith Davidson so, accompanying the scrapbook, are three photocopied letters inviting Davidson to the Toronto Marlboros, Hamilton Tigers, and Guelph Biltmores pre-season hockey camps to add to the story of this incredible book.
