Canadian Football League card enthusiasts who have yet to score cards like these will want to consider this batch, just eight cards shy of a complete set. The Parkhurst cards, (all player cards are considered rookie cards), feature members of the "Big Four" IRFU teams; Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Hamilton, along with 19 instructional (how-to-play-football) cards, written by Ted Reeve. The set includes two different #58 cards and no #62 card, with the group here highlighted by encapsulated examples of the two most important and valuable. Legendary quarterback Sam “The Rifle” Etcheverry’s RC and the last card of the set, 100-Bobby Simpson RC both are in Beckett holders with “5 EXCELLENT” on their labels. The raw representatives are almost all crease-free, with just three obvious creases observed and over two dozen cards making it to EX or EX+. A majority of the others are VG+ or VG-EX, with VG and (a few) lesser cards also present. Among the stars are Herb Trawick, Red O’Quinn, Virgil Wagner, Vince Scott, Peter Neumann and Bernie Custis. Five of the missing cards are the instructional ones (#s 3, 4, 10, 11, 17), as well as 23-McClelland, 24-Smylie and 95-Mazza. Some light scratches/scuffs to the front of the Beckett holders are to note but all in all, a fine opportunity to score a “major” ...vintage football card acquisition.
