A strong rookie card roster and a nifty design has long made Topps’ 1965-66 puck effort popular among collectors. Sporting a checklist that included 128-cards for youngsters to chase in packs and the fact that it was the only hockey card set offering of the season for the second straight year, offered here is this complete mid-to-high-grade set of Topps' 1965-66 hockey release. Including a quartet of graded offerings that includes the likes of 1-Blake (SGC EX-MT 6), 21-Giacomin RC (SGC NM+ 7.5), 31-Cheevers RC (KSA NM 7) and 81-Mahovlich (PSA NM 7), the set presents in the overall average condition ranges of EX to EX-MT and EX-MT to NM throughout while some cards are seen as being a bit worse off, falling towards VG-EX to EX.
