Two inviting complete sets of Topps’ 1959 and 1961 CFL releases are up for grabs here as part of this lot, make up of 88-cards and 132-cards respectively and released during years that saw the Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in both years to capture Winnipeg's second (2nd) and third (3rd) of four (4) Grey Cup championships in five (5) years. Starting with the earlier of the two (2) assemblies, the 1959 group presents in the uniform condition range of VG-EX to EX throughout its entirety except for cards #23, #36 and #71, which are low-grade specimens. For the key cards, included are those of 1-Rauhaus (PR - off-center, creased and corner wear/damage), 15-Dorow/Checklist (VG-EX to EX - unmarked and light corner wear), 30-Patterson (VG to VG-EX - corner wear), 39-Getty (G to VG - off-center, corner wear and surface wear), 40-Kwong (VG-EX to EX - light corner wear), 43-Parker (EX to EX-MT - off-center), 44-Barry/Checklist (EX to EX-MT - unmarked), 45-Coffey RC (EX to EX-MT - bottom left corner wear), 56-Jackson RC (G to VG - light faint crease), 63-Shatto (EX to EX-MT - slight wear to the bottom two corners) and 72-Mosca RC (EX to EX-MT - wear to the bottom left corner). Additionally, the 1959 set also includes a group of thirty-one (31) extra cards that are all in low-grade condition.
For the 1961 release, featuring a total of 132-cards in all and found to be in the overall condition range of EX for its effort, it is worth noting that card #132 has an ink mark over its reverse and roughly 10-15 cards in the set have faded to a yellow tint over their reverses. For the key cards, included are those of 1-Bailey (FR to G - off-center and corner wear/damage), 4-Flemming (VG-EX to EX - light border and corner wear), 20-Kapp (EX to EX-MT), 33-Coffey (EX to EX-MT), 39-Parker (G to VG - surface dent/wear and corner wear/damage), 47-Faloney RC (VG-EX to EX - off-center), 56-Patterson (VG-EX to EX - off-center and wear to the bottom right corner), 62-Dixon RC (VG-EX to EX - corner wear), 76-Jackson (EX to EX-MT - off-center), 79-Lancaster RC (EX to EX-MT - off-center), 85-Stewart RC (EX to EX-MT - slightly off-center), 102-Checklist (G to VG - unmarked, light bends and back is faded) and 123-James (EX to EX-MT).
