1960 Parkhurst #20 Gordie Howe PSA 8 - Mr. Hockey in His Prime

The 1960 Parkhurst #20 Gordie Howe captures the defining figure of his generation during the heart of his legendary run with the Detroit Red Wings. By the beginning of the 1960s, Howe had already accumulated championships, scoring titles, and MVP Awards, yet remarkably still had years of elite hockey ahead of him. Parkhurst’s unmistakable vintage aesthetic gives the card tremendous period character, presenting “Mr. Hockey” exactly where collectors want him—wearing the winged wheel during one of the greatest sustained careers the sport has ever seen.

Graded PSA NM-MT 8, this example reaches an impressive condition level for a vintage hockey card more than six decades old. Parkhurst issues from the era can be especially demanding, with centering, print quality, corners, edges, and surfaces all presenting obstacles to premium grades. A PSA 8 Howe combines strong technical preservation with the visual presence of one of hockey collecting’s most important names, making it an excellent piece for an advanced Hall of Fame or player collection.

Howe possessed virtually everything: scoring touch, strength, toughness, durability, and an intimidating physical edge that made the famous “Gordie Howe Hat Trick” part of hockey vocabulary. He won six Hart Trophies as league MVP, six Art Ross Trophies, and four Stanley Cups, while dominating the NHL across an astonishing span of time.
