What a treat it will be for the new owner to handle and admire this superb ensemble of 1964-65 Topps cards, one of the nicer groups of Tall Boys to arrive at our doorstep over the years. With original gloss and hardly a crease to be found, the impressive set is dominated by NM cards, with four examples in big PSA holders and highlighted by the Tim Horton All-Star card, graded NM-MT 8 (OC) and including a trio of Maple Leafs at NM 7; numbers 44-Kelly, 71-Shack and 99-Stewart. We see numerous stars and short prints at NM or a tad higher, (Sawchuk, Beliveau, Mikita, Mahovlich, Horton, 54-Checklist, Williams, Maki, Villemure, Rousseau, Nesterenko, Paille and Hall AS (OC), while others are close at EX-MT and EX-MT+; 55-Checklist, Plante, Howe (EX-MT+), Pilote, Dornhoefer, Hicke, Mikita AS and Hull AS. The remainder mirror the aforementioned, with centering that varies but which is generally good and a few exceptions to mention. A light crease is spotted in the Bobby Hull card, as well as 62-Hadfield and 88-Tremblay, sending them to VG+, while the #1 Pit Martin card is EX to EX+. In summary, numerous grading and other possibilities are offered here, with kudos going to the set’s assembler.
