A few vintage Habs

[RGM81]

I recently picked these up in a trade. I've got no expertise whatsoever when it comes to assigning grade or quality labels on vintage cards, so I'm looking for a little expert advice. It's not for any other purpose than for my records as I'm not going to be sending these in for grading or anything like that.

Here we go...

54-55 Parkie - Plante Protects

55-56 Parkie - Beliveau Bats Puck

59-60 Parkie - Jean Beliveau

The creases and corners are pretty noticeable on the two Beliveaus and the #98 box is marked by pen on the Plante, which is otherwise in pretty solid shape. For cards that are over 50, I'm just happy to have them.

Did you check the back to see if its the regular card or the quaker oats ones.

I did - there's no mention of Quaker Oats there. The Beliveau Bats Puck has a weird dude kissing a black cat but that's all.

Great cards Richard, the creases only add to the character and nostalgia.

I don't think either Beliveau could get above a 2 or 3 with the creases and maybe a 4 or 5 on the Plante because of the pen. Either way, wicked cool cards!

That's what I was thinking too! LOL Some kid clearly gave these guys the spokes treatment at some point, right?

Regardless of condition, very cool cards. The old ones were made to be enjoyed, and those ones clearly were.

Realistically I think you are looking at 1's for the 2 Beliveau cards I would be surprised if they made it to 2's, the Plante is a 4 (maybe 3). All the Q oats one have green backs, they are easy to pick out. Great cards, I love the early in action cards especially the Plante ones that came out before his rookie card.
