Hailing from a season that saw the Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to claim the 47th Grey Cup in what was the sixth (6th) season of modern-day Canadian football and second (2nd) in the Canadian Football League (CFL), offered here is this grouping of forty (40) cards from the 1959 Wheaties CFL football release. Similar in appearance to the 1956 Shredded Wheat set and released four (4) to a pack of every specially marked package of Wheaties, the group is paced by examples of Canadian Football Hall of Famers Sam Etcheverry (x2 - one around VG to VG-EX with a tiny light crease at the top border and the other around VG-EX with light corner wear), Jackie Parker (VG to VG-EX - tiny wrinkles at the bottom), Dick Shatto (x2 - one around PR to F with the paper scuffed on the front and the other around FR to G due to a crease), Vince Scott (x3 - one around PR to F with back damage, one around GOOD with a light crease on his head and the other around VG to VG-EX because of a slight amount of bottom border damage), Hal Patterson (VG to VG-EX - rookie - corner wear), Russ Jackson (EX - tiny dot/dent at the top of the card), Normie Kwong (G to VG - corner wear), Rollie Miles (x2 - both around FR to G with light creases) and Leo Lewis (PR to F - multiple creases). Also including other key cards within the set, present are those picturing Canadian gridiron legends such as Bernie Faloney (G to VG - glue residue on the reverse), Don Getty (x2 - both G to VG - one with a light crease at the top left the other with corner wear), Don Luzzi (VG to VG-EX - light red surface "snow" on the reverse), Rollie Miles (x3 - all around FR to G with one sporting a crease and corner issues and the other two showing light creases throughout) and Red O'Quinn (VG to VG-EX - light corner wear). For the rest of the assembly being offered, a pair (2) of cards pave the way in the scope of EX to EX-MT condition, three (3) cards are around VG-EX to EX, two (2) cards are around VG to VG-EX, seven (7) cards are seen in the scope of GOOD condition, three (3) cards fall into the range of FR to G and finally, three (3) cards show in the vicinity of PR to F, closing out the lot.
