Relatively good-looking near set of 1962 Canadian Football League cards have however one notable, not-often-seen issue that technically lowers the overall grade and renders it difficult to arrive at. The one-time owner of the cards wrote something on the left side of the cards when they were stacked up, resulting in black ink marks on the many of the left edges. Rather unfortunate, but not drastically detracting or always noticeable unless looked for. Intermittent edge and corner wear is to note, but a low percentage of creased cards and numerous big names. The big 169-card set of “mini” cards, issued in two-card panels over 50 years ago were designed to be separated by collectors and is star-laden, with Parker, Faloney, Jackson, Lancaster, Kapp, Patterson, Mosca, Bright, Henley, Stewart, Simpson, Gaines RC and James the most notable and stirring fond memories for those old enough to remember their 1960s’ heyday. Cards featuring team photos doubled as checklists, with the majority not “checked”, but boxes indeed penciled-in on the Lions and Eskimos cards. Needed for completion is card #137-Dave Mann.
