This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
Featuring a barrage of colourful backgrounds and posed portrait style images, this appealing assembly of Topps’ 1970-71 hockey release hails complete with all 132 cards being accounted for in a consistent EX-MT/NM condition range with some better. Led by Gordie Howe and the 2nd year card of Jacques Lemaire in terms of condition, both fall in the vicinity of the coveted mark of NM while the key rookie cards of Brad Park and Gilbert Perreault register in the scope of EX-MT/NM with Gilbert’s first year offering showing a bit of wear to the bottom right corner. Other notable stars that mirror the condition of the rookies mentioned above include 3-Orr, 11-Esposito (70-30 centering right-to-left), 15-Hull (off-centered top-to-bottom) and 55-Beliveau. Card #78 of Bernie Parent falls towards the EX condition range, one of the few exceptions found, due to diamond cutting as well as a corner ding and light creases to the bottom right. Additionally, card #59 of Tim Horton shows printing marks from the sheet it was cut from at the left edge. The checklist card, #132 in the set, also remains in the range of EX-MT condition. A wonderful offering of vintage cardboard that is sure to be pleasing to our winning bidder.
