A 1967-68 Topps set of 132 leads chronologically here, with some three dozen low grade cards joined by mostly VG and VG+ examples and very little above VG-EX. Best among the Bobby Orrs is #128-All-Star (crease-free but with slightly rounded corners and G), with paper loss and color touch-up on the front of #92 (P). There are two 118-Calder Trophy cards but both are P, similar to both marked checklists. Other low graders are Vachon RC, Howe and Beliveau, with back damage affecting almost all of the All-Star cards at the end. Among the much more decent entries at VG+ are 32-Esposito, 33-Sanderson RC and 114-Mikita, with 3-Lemaire RC at G+ and minor back damage to mention on the otherwise VG+ 113-Hull. ..... Meanwhile, overall condition somewhat improves with a group of '68-69 O-Pee-Chees, with intermittent rather pleasing EX examples (to go along with mostly VG and VG+), although that stack is not without condition issues, including some four dozen either hammered or with back damage from having been glued. The #2-Orr card is off-centered with a diamond cut but otherwise VG, with a diamond cut also observed on 64-Redmond RC (o/w EX). The Bernie Parent RC is miscut with creases, with creases also hampering 200-Orr All-Star and 214-Orr Norris, the latter with light back damage. Among the lesser group of '68-69s are the two checklists, Hull, Esposito, Sanderson and several of the All-Star and Trophy Winner cards. In summary, generally lower grade star cards, with however dozens of crease-free entries - it's a real mixed bag with nothing high grade. As our title mentions, five of the '68-69 cards are Topps affairs; 45-Maniago, 72-Gilbert, 100-Binkley RC, 110-Price and 122-Bower.
