Here we go gang!

I started this set sometime around last summer. I quickly learned to be EXTREMELY critical of condition and to scrutinize the pictures very closely. When in doubt, ask for more pictures! I purchased a few cards that looked great only to receive them and find a crease or fold, even a tear on one. Lesson learned and I paid very close attention to every little detail and always asked questions. The end result is what I consider to be a very nice condition 1954-55 Topps Hockey set!

Have a look, and enjoy!

The first card of Gamble, and the last of Milt, were difficult to find in nice condition. As the logic goes those cards suffered the most damage being the first and last of the set. Rubber bands, general handling and so forth. Took quite a while to find the right copies of each, with the Milt only showing up on COMC recently.





This guy kind needs his own show here. Bought as a "KSA 5" which typically in my experience is very generous with grades. This was the opposite as the card is very nice.





















And there you have it folks! Cards 1-60 of the 1954-55 Topps Hockey set. One of the more iconic and memorable designs ever put out. Hope you enjoyed!

Thanks a lot for this awesome vintage show. :beer:

As per KSA, you might be onto something. :groove:
 
Nicely done. Very sharp looking set. Some nice cards in total and no checklists cards to find unmarked. Nice set to put to rest.
 
Iconic man, definitely iconic! It took a while but what a sense of accomplishment,,CONGRATS!!! Collectively the are so sharp, some of them could even grade mint, no?


I look forward to hearing about your storage/display plans :beer:
 
Thanks all. Looking at the pics two things hit me; The camera on my iPhone 14 blows, and I really didn't do the cards justice whatsoever. They kind of look like heck actually. Taking them out of the card savers is kind of tedious though so hmm.
 
wow the vintage

the design was sweet

I figure the Sawchuk would be the hardest card besides the Howe to get... interesting congrats

It is. I kind of lucked into it and found an older gentleman selling some of his cards from earlier years. He made me a pretty nice deal on it and turned out to be a beautiful copy!

Thanks for the comments all!
