Fantastic opportunity here for collectors of vintage material, as well as Maple Leafs enthusiasts, with these pictures/cards that were available back in the day in exchange for Quaker Oats box tops. Produced on heavy card stock and measuring approximately 6-1/4" by 7-1/4", they're very infrequently seen/offered in such quantity and are close to being a complete Toronto team set, with just a George Parsons example needed for completion. Condition is rather impressive and pleasing, with hardly a crease spotted and just minor corner/edge wear to report. Majority have an EX appearance, with some technically VG-EX or VG-EX+. We detect a small (half-inch or less) crease in the middle top and bottom edge of the Syl Apps card, while a similar-size crease is hidden in the "frames" of Murph Chamberlain and Bob Davidson. Other than Apps, Hall of Famers present are Turk Broda, Gordie Drillon, Red Horner, Busher Jackson and broadcaster Foster Hewitt, the example of the latter affected by spots of toning/soiling. Completing the ensemble are Boll, Davidson, Fowler, Hamilton, Kampman, Kelly, N.Metz and Thoms.
Fourteen Montreal Canadiens players also appear in this issue, (not present here), for a total of 30 in a complete set. The backs are blank.
