Vintage Topps cards here are from the 1960s, show varying degrees of handling and wear, averaging VG and we'll go chronologically to describe them. A creased (G) Bobby Hull card and 13 All-Time Greats highlight a group of 42 from 1960-61, with nine crease-free making it to the VG+ to EX range, including Malone and Shore ATGs. The rest tend to be G, G+ and VG, with Hall, Worsley, Shack, Bathgate and Howell among them. We count 17 better than VG from '61-62 (VG+ to EX), most of them commons, while an unmarked checklist (VG) and Stan Mikita (G+), along with, (in G or G+), Bucyk, Stapleton RC, Pilote, Black Hawks team, Hall, Dejordy RC, Howell and Bathgate are noteworthy. Blue-bordered cards from '62-63 feature a dozen on the nicer side (VG-EX to EX), including Bruins (EX) and Black Hawks (VG-EX) team cards and Maki RC (EX), with Mikita and Gilbert in the VG neighborhood and Hall and Hadfield RC both G. Half a dozen low grade dogs include Bucyk and 1-Watson. Also condition-sensitive are (94) cards from the last year of the Original Six era, with the group averaging VG but with the more important/valuable cards present tending to be in lesser condition. Key notables are Esposito (F), the three Bobby Hull cards (all G) and two marked and otherwise G-VG checklists. Better and averaging VG are the likes of Giacomin, Sinden RC, Bycyk, Ullman, Hall, Mikita, Keon, Kelly, Geoffrion, Delvecchio, Rew Wings team, Mikita AS and Hall AS. Numerous possibilities with these swell blasts from the past.
