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.
