Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2019
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/26/2019
More than five dozen from each of two late-1950s Canadian Football League sets are up for grabs here, with moderate handling and wear observed but not many creases. Most of the backs however were lightly rubbed with a coin to reveal a cartoon and the "magic answer" to the question asked. Not taking that into account, the group of 1958 cards display mostly as rather attractive VG, VG+ and VG-EX examples. Notable rookie cards present are 28-Cookie Gilchrist (crease, VG), 40-Kenny Ploen (VG) and 78-Ernie Pitts (VG+), while noteworthy stars are 37-Herb Gray (VG), 45-Gerry James (VG-EX), 48-Vince Scott (VG) and 84-Dick Shatto (VG-EX). The '59s are also mostly "rubbed" on the reverse and have similar otherwise VG, VG+ and VG-EX appearances. Rookie cards include those of 16-Norm Fieldgate, 21-Earl Lunsford, 29-Don Luzzi and 58-Dave Thelan, with the star power featuring 6-Herb Gray, 41-John Bright, 54-Bob Simpson and 80-Bill Clarke. Cards of 15-Al Dorow and 44-Don Barry feature checklists on the backs, with just about all boxes indeed checked/marked. It's interesting to note that these two issues are loaded with rookie cards. Although they're not all here, over fifty RCs are featured in each set.
