Always plenty to note with 1964-65 Topps sets, with over four dozen extras here swell bonuses - let's get at it. Five key short prints are among the condition leaders at EX or EX+ and are joined by two dozen other EX entries, the most notable being SPs Williams, Pilote, Dornhoefer RC, Villemure and Rousseau, as well as Sawchuk (OC), Mikita (OC), Plante, Armstrong, Shack, Lindsay, Mahovlich and Keon. Also crease-free but with enough corner wear to render them VG-EX are three dozen, including #20-Hull SP, 48-Richard and ten 2nd Series representatives. At VG+ due to a small or light crease are SPs Beliveau, Maki, Nesterenko, Hicke and Mikita All-Star, along with 102-Horton and 107-Hull AS. Paille RC SP (VG) and 30 others are creased and mostly VG (a few are lower), including 1-Martin RC (G), 47-Crozier RC (VG), 105-Horton AS (F) and 110-Hall AS (F). Ah yes, the Gordie Howe card has a small light crease but has partially-erased writing on the front. One checklist (#54-1st Series) is unmarked and VG, while #55-2nd Series is a marked low grade example with a small tear. All-in-all, a decent pieced-together effort, with a duplicate Pilote SP highlighting the extras and more details/images on our website.
The extra Pilote SP is EX, similar to Lindsay and Keon, with Shack a tad lower. Most duplicates and triplicates (there are five of 5-Vasko) are from the 1st Series, with 22 different among 39. Condition is mostly in the VG to VG-EX range, with notables being 4-Ferguson, 17-Hodge (2), 21-Johnston, 22-DeJordy (2), 24-Gilbert (2), 44-Kelly (2), 45-Imlach and 50-Boivin (3). A marked, low grade 1st Series checklist is also present. Tall boy fun awaits.
