The Maple Leafs were on their way to their third straight Stanley Cup title and Stan Mikita his first of four scoring championships when cards like this were pulled from Topps packs. This pieced-together ensemble features 40 cards that are EX-MT or superior in our eyes, with several of them NM-or-better. Highlights include 43-Black Hawks Team at NM+, 45-Plante and 65-Rangers Team at NM and 46-Villemure RC at EX-MT+. We were to have also said EX-MT+ for 36-Mikita but it measures short, with an apparent trim job along with top edge. The key Bobby Hull card is EX, with another dozen (8-Westfall RC, 21-Bruins Team) similar. Half a dozen at VG or VG+ include 1-Schmidt (VG) and 23-Hall (VG+) and 57-Gilbert, while 47-Harvey is sharp but with evidence on the reverse of once having been held in a photo album by “triangles”. The 66-Checklist is unmarked and G+ with a small crease and partially-rounded corners. Just six cards have had a coin rubbed on the back, with minor paper loss to two. Nevertheless, dozens of attractive sharp cards will be coming your way if you’re the high bidder here.
