Doug Harvey over Horton or Mahovolich, no?
Ranked 6th all time by 1998 Hockey News. Mahovolich 27 and Horton 43.

Now putting the Harvey rookie in 10th place (instead of Mahovlich) wouldn't be a bad thing, but keep in mind that there are already three cards from the 1951 Parkhurst set that made this list, so I went with the Big M instead. It is definitely a close one though!

Great post. So many great 50's cards to choose from. That Jacques Plante rookie is one of the best looking cards from any era.

I'm glad you guys like this thread. There is hardly any action over here, so I decided to spice things up a little.
Now I want to add something: when coming up with this list, I decided to focus on mainstream rookies. This means that non-rookies, food issues and other oddballs were excluded. The Quaker Oats Jacques Plante card is very popular, but it's a food issue. The 1952 Royal Desserts Gordie Howe is very nice too, but again, a food issue. And finally, Gordie does have a few mainstream issues from this decade that are popular with collectors, especially his 1954 Topps card. None of them are on the list either.

I've been dabbling here and there for the last year/couple years but lately I've become more interested in them again. I've been trying to pick up some Orr cards here and there but I have also dabbled a bit with other older cards (mostly 60's-70's) and modern as well. Not sure if that's because I am close to completing my low number run of 52 Topps baseball cards or if it's me just reliving my youth again? Regardless, I am now enjoying the hockey card chase but in doing so, I have also noticed, or at least think I've noticed that hockey cards seem to be getting hot again? Looking forward to reading and seeing your 60's era selections.

I personally believe that cards issued from 1951 - 1959 are the best. No other decade comes close.
