Let's compare the following cards price-wise:

- 1951 Parkhurst G. Howe vs. 1952 Parkhurst G. Howe

- 1951 Parkhurst M. Richard vs. 1952 Parkhurst M. Richard

- 1966 Topps B. Orr vs. 1967 Topps B. Orr

- 1979 O-Pee-Chee W. Gretzky vs. 1980 O-Pee-Chee W. Gretzky

As you can see, there is a huge difference between rookies and second-year cards.

As for the second part of your paragraph - I don't know. I mean, sure, maybe there are a few of you hockey experts that were aware of this information, however, I still feel that majority of collectors think these test cards were released at the same time as the Canadian issue. And again, it doesn't help when you have PSA, the most popular grading company out there, labeling these cards as being from 1966.

No effect whatsoever. Like I said many of us already know and it hasn't changed anything.
