In rather uniform and appealing condition is this assembly of ever-popular "Tall Boys", with the majority in the EX to EX+ range and most of the rest close at VG-EX or VG-EX+, with some EX-MTs and a small percentage of NMs also to be discovered. A Tim Horton card, (graded 86 NM+ by SGC) and Bobby Hull's All-Star example (slabbed EX-MT 6 by PSA) headline the encapsulated entries, with #70-Schmidt at EX-MT+ 6.5 and three other PSAs at EX-MT 6; 5-Vasko, 21-Johnston and 51-Westfall. We'd say Howe and Hull SP make it to EX, with Horton and Mikita All-Stars just a notch below, similar to 1-Martin RC. The SPs display similarly (VG-EX, VG-EX+), with a small light corner crease sending 92-Paille RC to VG+, waviness detected in 80-Rousseau and a square of scotch tape stain (reverse) lowering 59-Pilote. Checklists are unmarked, with 54-1st Series (VG) superior to 55-2nd Series (G). A crease sends half a dozen others to VG, including Canadiens Beliveau, Richard and Backstrom, with corner/handling wear doing the same to 110-Hall AS. We're pointing out the flaws to be aware of but overall, this set offers mostly pleasing crease-free images with unblemished surfaces, along with terrific star-power - Tall Boy sets are always special acquisitions that offer numerous possibilities.
