As mentioned above I did buy hockey
cards in the 60s. Some have asked if I still
have some of them. The answer is yes.Maybe not
for everyone but here are some of my cards as
requested. Above is my 1963 Parkhurst set that
was lots of fun to get and open, and of course
the gum was great.

This is my 1962
Parkhurst set. Not as cool as the 63s but
still full of memories.
|

A set that I have accumulated most of,
in later years is the amazing 1951 Parkhurst set
with the Howe and many other rookies.
|
editor's collection
The 1951 Parkhurst came wrapped in a
little box made from the uncut sheet of cards.

Almost
my favorite set is the 1952 Parkhurst set . I
really like the goalies from this set that I
have isolated for you below.
|
editor's collection
My favorite card of all, the 1954
Parkhurst Terry Sawchuck
|
|
More goalies
from the later years.They are cool . It
doesn't seem that long ago to me that they
wore this style of mask. I have most of
the sets through the 70s and 80s and these are
the best goalie cards showing the masks.
|
This
is an interesting collage of Howe cards. I
hope you enjoy this
|
|
These
are all my Guy Lafleur cards. I think this
is all of them but if there are any more
(early years) please send me a note.

Here are some recent
pickups. (from local auctions)
One of my
best cards the 1960
Rocket Richard. As
you may notice some are very nice and some are
low grade. I have cards that are graded PSA 10
and they just don't seem realistic. If I want
a card and it's low grade it doesn't matter. The card looks
fine to me. The lower right card is the 1961
Al Kaline Allstar card. Low grade but I like
it! (Sept/2023) I got lots of comments
on my recents so will continue to post my
recent buys here! (always new stuff coming in)
|
Here
is some of a recent group (dec/23) Always
buying action cards from 50's and 60's. As
you can see I am now moving into 70's action
cards. Even though I have many 70's action
cards just now starting to complete them.
Also I have pretty well all of the 50's and
60's goalies. Am now trying to finish the
70's goalies. And a highlight the 1970
Thurman Munson,rookie card, New York Yankees
catcher who was a big hitter. The Yankees
seemed to be always in the playoffs and
there was big Thurman making amazing plays
at home plate! He is one of my top several
favorites and this card is an update to my
rough original.
|
Here is a Nov/23 group that I
just won via a Delhi auction company. The
Tommy John (Dodger) was very cheap so I
threw it in for interest and the Darryl
Sittler action all star is a nice bonus
card. My favorite is the Bill Freehan action
card.
|
Here is an
upgrade to my 1962 Roger Maris card. He was in
the news during the 1961 season as he was in a
race to beat Babe Ruth's homer record of 60
homers. Mickey Mantle fell back as Maris hit
his 61st.I remember following this race very
closely. I had to wait til the following year
to see the '61 HR' stat on the back of the
1962 Maris card. The card that I had since
1962 is very rough , believe it or not this
PSA 3.5 is much better.
(purchased dec.23)
|
Another nice
group bought at Delhi Auctions.. The 62 Norm
Cash Allstar card, 68 Al Kaline, 62 Jim
Bunning,and 3 1972 Action cards that I needed
to complete the Action set.The 70 Bob Gibson
and the 69 Bob Gibson. I always look for Bob
Gibson cards as Norm Cash , in an interview on
WJR said he was basically 'unhittable'! This
statement captured my imagination as a kid and
prompted me to include his cards in the list
of my favorites.
|
I get asked
quite regularly if any of my cards are for
sale and I always say no. But here are my 1951
Parkhurst doubles. I would make a trade for
something I want.
|
|
I get
lots of questions and one was do you have
any Jim Leyland cards. He was recently
inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. My
answer is yes. Here are all I have , I
think.
|
|
The 57/58 Topps set with
the Bobby Hull rookie.
|
|
|

A
better look at the 54/55 action series.This
is an amazing addition to the 54/55
Parkhurst set.
For
your convenience here is the Action cards
backs for the names and commentary of each
card. Notice #99 card, considered
the Plante Rookie as it is the first time he
appears on a card. Also notice #92 the Howe
in action! Definitely my favorite of the
set.
|
This
is the complete 54-5 Parkhurst set. All be
it in VG condition, still shows well and
features the complete action series that is
absolutely beautiful!
|
This is my
complete ca.1966 Bobby Orr rookie card set.
Sorry the
check lists are marked. Also the Orr is low
grade but it's just fine to me.

This is the
Baseball section. I have included my
Mantles and Maris cards and some other big
hitters.
The 59
Mantle. I had most of this set but traded most
of them for hockey cards years ago. Glad I
kept the Mantle and Maris though.
|
The 53
Bowman Mantle, with Yogi Berra, Max Bauer and
a very young Mantle.
|
The 67
Mickey Mantle, 58 Roger Maris rookie, 49
Satchell Page, 60 Mantle, 61Roger
Maris, Norm Cash, Mantle, Al Kaline, 62 Tom
Tresh, Mantle, Bobby Richardson, 58 Al
Kaline, 60 Mantle,
|
The 62
Willie Mays, 62 Roger Maris & Orlando
Cepeda, 62 Mickey Mantle & Willie Mays, 63
Mantle, 59 Roger Maris, 63 Roger Maris
|
A very cool
card showing the arc of the famous Mantle home
run that was launched right out of Griffith
Stadium Washington April 17th 1953.
Also the 58 Rocky Colavito another big hitter
that played a few seasons with the Tigers.
|
|
These are
the 1958 Ted Williams set by Fleer. Kind of
goofy but shows the history and growing up of
Ted. Made for big Ted fans.Here it is. Like
most of my 50s and 60s cards this set was
purchased from the F. Pageau collection

These are my
CFL cards. Most are late ca.1950s. Not
as important as my hockey and baseball but
still cool. Please enjoy them.

These are my
late ca.1950s Western TV Show cards. I
remember most of these shows in reruns during
the 60s. Especially liked Yancy Derringer.
