1954-55 Topps #8 Gordie Howe SGC 8.5 NM-MT+
MR. HOCKEY!!! One of the most sought-after cards from Mr. Hockey, the 1954-55 Topps hockey is unmistakable with the great right wing skating and the bold, red Detroit winged wheel logo leaping from the card's snow-white background. Superior right-angle corners with super sharp edges. The bottom banners show no color loss as can often be found in this series. Not difficult to see how this striking example garnered an SGC 8.5 NM-MT+ grade as no visible defects are detectable. Just four in this grade with a mere trio grading higher! This is a classic card to put into your high-end collection.
