Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/1/2022
A chance to obtain one of the earliest known unopened wax packs containing Canadian Football League cards is available here, with a 5-cent pack from 1960 offering much to admire. The colorful wrapper, with an ad for a gold-plated initial ring on the back, is one of two wrapper variations and displays marvelously, with a bit of soiling visible on the bottom/back. Topps, for the first time, changed the card design to be different than its NFL issue, with the 88-card CFL set somewhat sparse on rookie cards; those of Joe Kapp and Tobin Rote are the most noteworthy among those carrying the RC designation in CFL guides, while quarterback legends Parker, Etcheverry, Faloney, Jackson and Shatto headline the star power. Certified unopened and graded NM+ 7.5 by Global Authentication Inc., the scarcity will be a special addition to your unopened/CFL shrine. Scratches to the front of the GAI holder are to note.
