I recently purchased 7 cards from the
1961-62 Topps Hockey set. They either have creases, rough edges or minor staining on the back. But for
$3 each, I can't complain. These cards are
50 years old, after all.

#21 - Action Near the Cage - Vintage Bruins-Blackhawks action from the '60-61 season.
#49 - Earl Ingarfield - Played in the NHL from 1959 to 1971.
#63 - New York Rangers Team Photo - I love these old team photos.
#8 - John Bucyk - The Chief! Bucyk played 21 seasons with the Boston Bruins.
#64 - Going, Going, Goal! - Rangers' goalie Gump Worsley gest beat by Bruins forward Dick Meissner, who pokes in the puck at the goal line.
#20 - Boston Bruins Team Photo - Another great team shot. Team photos should be included in newer card sets, don'tcha think?
#23 - Rudy Pilous (coach) - Am I the only one who likes cards of coaches? From the back of this card...
Rudy, never a big league player himself, drove Black Hawks to Stanley Cup last season...Rudy's a big, amiable guy with real gift for handling men.
See? Hard-hitting information you can't find anywhere else but on the back of a vintage card.

Awesome lot! That Bucyk is great and I love the Hockey Highlights action cards.
By the way, I totally agree with you that team cards should be included in modern sets.
Did you know: the 61 Boston team card has the first card appearance of Willie O'Ree (back row-fifth l-r)
