Wow, has it really been eight months since I last purchased a card from the 1963-64 Parkhurst Hockey set? Yes, yes it has. I did not find any Parkies from that year back at the card show in March, and I haven’t done much eBay shopping lately.
Anyway, this “common card” of Dale Balon was $12. A little steep for a common, until I noticed how perfect the corners on this card are. The only real flaw is that bit of discoloration (dirt?) along the bottom left edge. Even the borders and back are a little less agedĀ than usual.
And thus, I’ve taken another small step towards completing this set.

That’s in really nice shape. Glad you’re still plugging away at this set. Any really bad ones among the missing?
I still need a Tim Horton card, and maybe a few other big names. I have the three most expensive cards (Howe, Faulkner, Maniago) so it should be pretty much downhill from here.
