Is there a hockey team with more history than the Montreal Canadiens? Laying claim to a total of twenty-four (24) Stanley Cup championships during their storied 107 year history and having numerous Hall of Famers suit up in their famed bleu, blanc et rouge jersey, offered here we present this collection of six (6) PSA and KSA graded Montreal Canadiens hockey cards that include players such as Beliveau, H. Richard, Lemaire, Cournoyer and Lafleur from a period that saw Montreal claim six (6) of their championships. All O-Pee-Chee brand offerings, the group is paced in terms of age by a copy of Jean Beliveau's 1968-69 card that has been worthy of a NM 7 mark by PSA after their inspection. Following that, the group includes cards sporting grades of MINT 9 or higher including those of cards picturing Henri Richard (1970-71 O-Pee-Chee - PSA MINT 9), Jacques Lemaire (1972-73 O-Pee-Chee - PSA MINT 9), Yvan Cournoyer (1976-77 O-Pee-Chee - PSA MINT 9), Guy Lafleur (1978-79 O-Pee-Chee Record Breaker - KSA NMG 9.5) and a Canadiens team card/checklist (1978-79 O-Pee-Chee - PSA MINT 9) that has nine (9) Hall of Fame players who would win the Cup that season, with Dryden in goalie pads, Cournoyer, Gainey, Lafleur, Shutt, Lemaire (misspelled “Lamaire”), Savard, Robinson and Lapointe. Beliveau is also seated on the bench next to goalie Michel Laroque. With all the holders in excellent condition and sporting just some light scratches and scuffs worth pointing out for accuracy, it doesn’t get much better than this for hardcore Montreal Canadiens fans.
It must be noted that the grading standards followed by KSA may not correspond to those currently employed by PSA, BGS or SGC. The outcome of an attempted cross-over of this piece through any of those services, then, would be uncertain and cannot be guaranteed.
