Cards from the 1970s dominate this offering, with however two legends representing the 1950s leading chronologically. A Rocket Richard card from 1953-54 is crease-free but has some stains on the front (otherwise VG due to corner wear), while a crease-free Tim Horton entry from the same issue displays as a VG+ to VG-EX card but is lowered by subtle tape or glue residue/stains on the front (at the four corners). Half a dozen '60-61 Topps stamp inserts feature big names, with Art Ross (VG+) best condition-wise, and joined by King Clancy and Cyclone Taylor at VG, along with multi-creased examples of Howie Morenz, Stan Mikita and Glenn Hall. A well-centered '68-69 O-Pee-Chee Bobby Orr 214-Norris Trophy card (VG+) highlights a few cards from the late-'60s, while Bobby and some other stars are among three dozen from the first half of the '70s. The '70-71 OPC lineup includes rookie cards of Gilbert Perreault (F-G), Brad Park (VG-EX) and Wayne Cashman (2)(both G), along with Beliveau, Phil Esposito (2), Parent, Ratelle, Cournoyer and Mikita All-Star, with a VG average to report. Nine from '71-72 include 251-Orr All-Star (VG+) and EX cards of Perreault (2) and Park. A half dozen '72-73 OPCs are headlined by 58-Orr in Action (NM) and 14-Clarke (EX-MT), with Orr (EX+), Clarke (EX) and a Bill Barber RC (EX+) from '73-74. A dozen team logo inserts are from '71-72 and/or '72-73 (9) and '73-74 (3) and look to be crease-free. Among a handful of OPCs from the '80s are a trio of Gretzky "specials" and rookie cards of Steve Yzerman (EX+) and Brett Hull (EX+). Notable among the not aforementioned is a KSA-graded '68-69 OPC Gordie Howe card (2 GOOD), a '72-73 Paul Henderson player crest insert and a '76-77 Topps Bobby Orr (EX-MT). Lots of fun to be had with this varied lot.
