Alex Delvecchio’s rookie card is in the iconic 1951 Parkhurst set. Throughout the years, he has been fantastic to fans and quickly responds to fan mail with a $15 donation. I purchased a raw card on eBay and sent it in a bubble mailer with a blue sharpie and donation. The card came back one week later and he was kind enough to add the inscriptions that I requested.
Currently there are only 18 autographed 1951 Parkhurst Alex Delvecchio rookie cards in the PSA registry.
