23 cards from 1960-61 Topps Hockey

On a whim, I decided to start building the 1960-61 Topps Hockey set. This was at a card show last month. While I've been prioritizing other sets, like 1963-64 Parkhurst, I came across a dealer who had 21 cards in decent shape--most priced at $5 to $6 each. Another dealer had 2 more cards from the set at $3.75 each. Take a look at what I got:

4 - Ernie Johnson (All-Time Greats)

6 - Bill Hay

9 - Jimmy Morrison

12 - Murray Balfour

13 - Leo Labine

18 - George Sullivan

24 - Charlie Burns - Note that he's wearing a helmet. 
Quite an oddity for 1960.

30 - Jack Evans

31 - Guy Gendron

33 - Ab McDonald

37 - Dean Prentice

40 - Don McKenny

41 - Ron Murphy

42 - Andy Hebenton

43 - Don Simmons

49 - Harry Howell

51 - Tod Sloan

53 - Camille Henry

56 - Bob Armstrong

57 - Ferny Flaman

61 - Lou Fontinato - This one has writing on it,
but was only $3 so I couldn't pass it up.

62 - Leo Boivin

66 - Vic Stasiuk - Always nice to get the last card in the set.

This haul brings my count to 25 cards--or roughly 37% of the set. Of course, I need the biggest two cards: Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita, the latter being his rookie card.  Otherwise, the majority of the set seems pretty attainable.

Nice, those look like they are in great shape, especially for that price. Great stuff.

That's a fun set. The old-time greats can be fun to get, too.

Red acetate works well for the questions on the back.
