    Tough question. So far, a PSA 10 OPC Gretzky rookie selling for over $50,000 is the highest reported price I know of. BMW had a Howie Morenz from the '30s (OPC?) with a $75,000 price on it but I don't know if they sold it (let alone for that price). There apparently is a PSA 9 Gordie Howe rookie out there. Can't imaging what that might bring.

    As far as rarity, there is a 1923 or 1924 Crescent Selkirk card that is virtually non-existent. It was inlvolved in a redemption promo and only a handful (if that many) were ever produced.

    RedHeart54 what cards are you looking for in 1985-86 OPC in PSA 9. I have quite a few. My e-mail: sportscardbaseball@sasktel.net

    I think the Gterxky rc, or a Howe rc (the 51 park is really ugly. if not for the HOF rc's, it would be just as dead as the 54 PArk) are more like the 52 Topps Mantle. Shouldn't there be consideration for the Vezina rc? there is one card as far as rarity, that is even rarer than the Wagner. it's not from the 1920's. It's from another set. I don't want to name it, because I want to try to find it, and if a lot of peoplee find it, i will have to pay a lot more if it ever shows up in auction. I can't pick any Art Ross cards as best, because he has two rc's in the 1910 set. What about newsy Lalonde? His rc is the last card in the set. According to the pop report, there is on 1 PSA 5, 1 PSA 6, and 1 PSA 7, and everything else is below 5, and mainly PSA 1 to PSA 2. That sounds pretty rare to me. The Frank Patrick from that set would be interesting because there is nothing higher than PSA 5, but there are already 6 PSA 5's.

    True the 1951 cards leave a little to be desired even for that time period however in my mind still the ultimate of hockey cards. One has been graded PSA 10, number 61, Terry Sawchuk. Have no idea who might have it?

    The 51 Parkhurst, even in high grade are hard to see, and look like someone cut off the cardboard from a box and said hey let's print cards on this cardboard. I also don't like that the back is blank. If someone told me me that the 51 parkhurst were from the 1800's, and I knew nothing about the set, I might believe it because of the blank back and the look and size of the cards.

    The 1951 Parkhurst set, while somewhat primitive, at least has a little color to it. Also, its rookie card selection is probably the best among vintage sets in any sport. Howe, Sawchuk, Richard, Boom Boom, Harvey, etc etc. Very few NOT in the Hall of Fame.

    They really couldn't miss with that set because there was nothing in the 1940's. Most of those rc's are only rc's because there were no previous cards, but they didn't reflect their rookie season, but it probably is one of the best selection of HOF rc's from are sport.

    I think the answer might by the Harry Oliver card from the 1932/3 V129 Anonymous set. Like the 1932 US Caramel Baseball and Presidents sets, where the Lindstrom (baseball) and McKinley (Presidents) were intentionally short printed to make set completion and prize redemption virtually impossible, the Oliver card was needed to complete the V129 set and get the issuer's redemption. Also, Harry Oliver was a major pre-war hockey star, and HOFer now.
