Stunning are these ultra-inviting collectibles offered with El Producto Cigars back in the 1960s. The familiar poses of NHL stars which appeared in weekend magazines back in the day were also produced on the cardboard cigar box bottoms and rarely surface, especially in complete set form. And what a lineup! All-time greats Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau, Glenn Hall, Henri Richard, Frank Mahovlich and Dave Keon comprise the tempting ensemble and condition is impressive too. The cardboard images measure, for the most part, approximately 4-3/8" by 8-1/2", with the (borderless) Richard example a tad narrower and a little taller since it still has the position and bio info at the bottom. Beliveau, with a superb surface, and Hall (small tear on the reverse), are crease-free and best, with a tiny corner crease affecting Keon. Flaws to the others do little to affect the eye appeal, with paper loss on the back of the Richard, a light 3" crease in the Mahovlich and a tear and small piece missing in the upper corner of the Howe all to be aware of. The bright vivid colors are striking and a treat to behold. El Magnifique!
