An encapsulated bonanza hitting the market for the first time and featuring inviting coins and inserts will surely tempt many and we’ll lead with the graded Shirriff coins. A mask-wearing Jacques Plante appears on a 1962-63 metal coin that earned NM-MT 8 status at PSA, the same as Dickie Moore, with six others in the EX 5 (Olmstead, MacNeil), EX-MT 6 (Kelly, Harvey All-Star) and NM 7 (Keon, Hicke) range, while from ’61-62 are Wharram (NM 7) and Moore (EX-MT 6). And now on to the luscious inserts, with eight ’68-69 Puck Stickers headlined by Harvey and Horton (OC) at NM-MT 8 and Plante and Sawchuk at NM 7, with four EX-MT 6s entries also present; Beliveau, Worsley, Vasko and Stanley. Dandy Sticker Stamps from ’70-71 feature 12 of 15 in PSA holders labeled NM-MT 8, with Hall of Famers Howe, Beliveau, Keon, Mahovlich, Giacomin, Ratelle and Laperriere joined by Sanderson, Ecclestone, Grant, St. Marseille and Woytowich. The condition leader is McCreary (NM-MT+ 8.5), with Hull (NM 7) and Phil Esposito (EX-MT 6) also in the mix. A mix of conditions is to report with (39) Deckle Edge inserts, with one MINT 9 (Van Impe) followed by mostly HOFers (8 of 10) among NM-MT 8s; Orr (multi-cracked holder), Howe, Hull, Beliveau, Phil Espo, Mahovlich, Ratelle and Vachon, as well as #1-Quinn and Berenson. There are also a dozen NM 7s (Sanderson, Lemaire, Laperriere, Cournoyer), nine at EX-MT 6 (Richard, Gilbert, Park, Ullman) and five EX 5s (Hall). Two examined by KSA are Tony Esposito (8.5 NMM+) and Giacomin (7.5 NM+). Miscellaneous stamp throw-ins are ’69-70 Topps/OPC Binkley and Joyal at NM-MT 8, a Bobby Hull ’70-71 Esso Power Player (EX-MT 6) and two ’74-75 NHL Action Stamps (Loblaws); Savard (MINT 9) and Sittler (NM-MT 8).
