1952 Parkhurst #14 Doug Harvey PSA 8 – A Vintage Masterpiece of a Hall of Fame Icon

A master of control and the architect of modern defensive play, Doug Harvey was in his absolute prime during the early 1950s. In 1951–52, he anchored the Montreal Canadiens' blue line with unmatched poise, helping usher in an era where defensemen became vital puck distributors, not just shot blockers. With his elite passing ability, calm under pressure, and flawless positioning, Harvey redefined what it meant to be a defenseman and would go on to win an incredible seven Norris Trophies during his Hall of Fame career.

This PSA 8 example from the inaugural 1952 Parkhurst set is a beautifully preserved relic from hockey’s golden age. The card features bright color, excellent centering, and clean, problem-free surfaces, all of which are rare for this issue given its fragile cardboard stock and early printing standards. As Harvey’s true rookie card, it is one of the key cornerstone pieces in the Parkhurst run—and one of the most desirable pre-1960s cards for any collector of vintage legends.

A defense-first visionary and one of the sport’s most important historical figures, this early card captures Doug Harvey at the beginning of his ascent. An elite example of a foundational card from one of the game’s most influential players.
