CONDITION:
While many are low grade, this set also contains some decent looking cards including #34 Alex Delvecchio. Three (3) cards have been graded by KSA (Bucyk, Hall RC, Sawchuk). Due to the wide variance in condition of this set, every card has been described individually as follows:
#1 Real Chevrefils (poor), #2 Jack Bionda (poor), #3 Bob Armstrong (low grade), #4 Fernie Flaman: Heavy crease from top border to left elbow. Positively, it retains an otherwise clean surface with nice colors/gloss, EX+ corners, #5 Jerry Toppazzini: Paper loss at top right but image is not affected. Heavy creasing/corner wear but card retains decent colors and gloss, #6 Larry Regan: Print lines on front but card retains nice colors/gloss with EX corners, #7 Bronco Horvath: Typical print spots on front but card retains nice colors, gloss and VG/EX corners, #8 Jack Caffery: Clear image, nice colors/gloss, EX corners, #9 Leo Labine (low grade), #10 John Bucyk RC KSA 3 (VG), #11 Vic Stasiuk (poor, tape on front), #12 Doug Mohns (low grade but some original gloss is still present), #13 Don McKenney (low grade), #14 Don Simmons RC: Heavy creasing. Corner wear but card still retains decent colors and gloss, #15 Allan Stanley: Creasing, corner wear but decent colors and gloss still shine through, #16 Fleming Mackell: The top corners are VG/EX. The bottom corners are EX. Clean surface with nice colors/gloss, #17 Larry Hillman (poor),#18 Leo Boivin: Very presentable VG/EX, #19 Bob Bailey (poor), #20 Glenn Hall RC: KSA 3 (VG), #21 Ted Lindsay: Miscut top to bottom. A number of small paper wrinkles are evident but this would be hard to notice in plastic sheets/rigid holder. This card retains very decent eye appeal due to a clean/clear image, decent colors and gloss, EX corners, #22 Pierre Pilote RC: low grade due to surface wear (top left), light creasing and noticeable corner wear. However, it retains a decent image with nice colors and gloss potentially making for better eye appeal in person than on screen, #23 Jim Thomson: Heavy creasing but decent colors and gloss still shine through with EX (arguably better) corners, #24 Eric Nesterenko: Small crease at upper right. Typical print spots on front but original gloss still comes through. EX corners, #25 Gus Mortson (low grade), #26 Ed Litzenberger: Some surface wear but good colors/gloss are still visible. EX corners, #27 Elmer Vasko: Creasing, soft corners but good colors and original gloss are still present, #28 Jack McIntyre: Soft corners but some "might" call them VG. Clear image with decent colors/gloss, #29 Ron Murphy: Typical print marks on front but the image still shows well with nice colors/gloss, EX+ corners, #30 Glen Skov: The corners are a strong VG (we have not but some "might" call them closer to VG/EX). Surface shows a few scratch marks but the image is clear with good colors and gloss, #31 Hec Lalonde (poor/paper loss to bottom left), #32 Nick Mickoski: A very decent card at first glance. A closer look shows a light paper wrinkle at bottom left (this would be very hard to see in plastic sheets or a rigid holder). This card displays a clear image with nice colors and gloss. The top corners are EX. The bottom corners are EX+, #33 Wally Hergesheimer (low grade), #34 Alex Delvecchio: At first glance this card appears to be crease free. A (much) closer look reveals a small, light paper wrinkle from the mid top, less than a 1/4" of the way down. This card also has a light wax stain on the red jersey but the facial image remains clear and original gloss is still very apparent. The top corners show pinches but still form close to their points. The bottom corners are reasonably sharp, #35 Terry Sawchuk KSA 2 (Good), #36 Guyle Fielder: Light crease across upper left (this would be hidden considerably in plastic sheets/rigid holder). Minor surface spots but image is clear with good colors and gloss. VG/EX corners, #37 Tom McCarthy (low grade), #38 Al Arbour: Nice VG/EX, #39 Billy Dea: The corners are VG but the image is clean with strong colors/gloss, #40 Lorne Ferguson: Poor (faded on front, tape on back), #41 Warren Godfrey: VG corners, some surface wear but decent colors and lots of gloss still come through, #42 Gordie Howe: A small crease is visible midway down the right side to the white of the first white hockey sock (just underneath red hockey pants). A light paper wrinkle is visible at the upper right. Some typical print marks are evident on front including through the upper facial area but the image of Howe is still very apparent. Some edge wear along the top with a small nick visible in the paper along the bottom border. On the positive side, this card has very decent centering (nicer than usual for this particular card)! It also retains decent colors and a nice amount of original gloss. The top right corner is soft but the other corners are collectively, VG/EX. This is a very decent card for the true collector and one that shows nicer in person than on screen, #43 Marcel Pronovost (low grade), #44 Bill McNeill: One of the nicest cards in the set (EX-MT), #45 Earl Reibel (low grade), #46 Norman Ullman RC: Creasing, soft corners. The image is out of focus. Positively, this card retains strong colors and gloss which help in the eye appeal department, #47 Johnny Wilson: Miscut side to side. Minor surface wear but nice colors and gloss are visible. VG/EX corners, #48 Red Kelly (low grade), #49 Bill Dineen: The top corners are VG. The bottom corners are VG/EX. Clear/clean image with nice colors and gloss, #50 Forbes Kennedy: Soft corners, print spots on front with surface wear on chin. Image still comes through with good colors/gloss, #51 Harry Howell (low grade), #52 Guy Gendron (low grade), #53 Lorne Worsley: The left side shows creasing across top and bottom. The corners are too soft to be called VG but some still "might". The main image remains clear with good colors and gloss, #54 Larry Popein (low grade due to heavy creasing/corner wear), #55 Jack Evans: Left side shows a light crease at top and a noticeable on across the bottom. The image remains clear with good colors/gloss, nice VG/EX corners, #56 George Sullivan: Very presentable VG/EX, #57 Gerry Foley: For sake of accuracy, some minor surface wear is visible but nice colors and plenty of gloss still shine through. EX corners, #58 Andy Hebenton: Noticeable creasing at top but image is still clear with good colors/gloss. One corner is rubbed (bottom right). Three corners are VG/EX, #59 Larry Cahan (low grade), #60 Andy Bathgate (low grade), #61 Danny Lewicki (poor), #62 Dean Prentice: Presentable VG corners (some "might" say they are better). Image is clear with nice colors/gloss, #63 Camille Henry: Soft corners but image is clear with good colors and gloss, #64 Lou Fontinato RC (poor), #65 Bill Gadsby (low grade), #66 Dave Creighton (heavy creasing, soft corners but card retains decent colors and gloss).
