Parkhurst Project Card 36: Woody Dumart

Continuing on with pick ups from the past is card number 36 in my set and 28 in the set which is Woody Dumart. To be clear, this is NOT his rookie card. There are a number of rookies in the set and this isn't one of them. Dumart and a small number of others who were still playing in the NHL at this time had rookie cards make it into the OPC sets of the late 30's. 

With that being said, there is still actually loads of demand and value on some of these cards despite more than a decade of time has passed between their first and second cards. Landing another HOF'er off the checklist was very rewarding and the condition of this card is very acceptable for my personal needs and was a very welcome addition.  

1951-52 Parkhurst Woody Dumart #28
Not a bad looking card, a little bit handled and some soft and rounded corners. The red ink on the bottom is very faded as well but you can still read it all when you look at the physical card. I definitely get a great deal of enjoyment each time I cross one of these off the list and the fact it isn't just a common increases the enjoyment! I am nearly caught up with just a couple left to share. One big fish coming up sometime soon so keep an eye out for it. Thanks for stopping by!!

    1. Hahaha, thanks! If I ever come across another I will be sure to grab it for you. Sorry for the Bruins loss, I was really pulling for them against the Sens.

  2. That sure is a sweet card of Porky. Nice, vibrant color hides the roundish corners or at least makes them less noticeable.

  3. Very impressive! Can't wait to see what your "big fish" is (don't tell me it's the Rocket Richard!)

    1. Thanks! I can promise it isn't the Rocket. That would be pretty awesome if it was though :)
