Question about a set

[winniescards]

Just wondering if anyone here knows what year actually the Prudential "Great Moment in Canadian Sports"
came out and how many prints there are in a complete set.PLMK. Thanks.

My searches on the 'net show that "full set originally included 25 different prints". And it was from the "1970s".

That is great. Thank you. I will now look for a checklist to see who I am missing. Thanks for the information.

They do look awesome. I have over 20 different.but i had a reply to the same question on another forum last night and that person said there
were 23 in a set and 4 series so a total of 92 prints. I could never complete a set that big.I also noticed that the ones I have there are 3 different
sizes. The pictures are the same size but the overall size is slightly different. Some by as much as an inch while others are only like a 1/4 inch
different.I wonder if they were released over several years with the printing each year just making them slightly different then the year before.
Thanks a lot for all the information. TTYS

An August 1962 Weekend Magazine that includes a revealing full-page ad about the (14-1/2” x 18”) prints, informing that five new prints will be coming soon, with an offer to order one of the already released works or reserve the ones available in coming months.

Gordie Howe was released later in the decade and of course Sittler, Orr, Henderson were some of the last ones
in the 70s

The Classic Auction had 4 sets of 23 and later updated to say there were 25 in total - they had 4 Hendersons so I don't think there are 92 different ones, perhaps only in size

That is awesome information.I see that I still need 5 more to complete a 25 print set.
With a lot of extras. Thanks again for this very valuable information.

Well with all the information i received from this thread. I was able too track down the last 5 I needed for my set.
So now I have a complete set of these prints. Thanks to everyone that sent along information, Winston.
