I have a trading buddy in Ottawa who's closing in on his goal of acquiring every
Canadian non-sport wrapper (O-Pee-Chee, Parkhurst, Fleer Canada, etc.) issued since WW2! I believe he currently needs less than a half dozen.

I love that 1959 Topps CFL set which contains Jackson's rookie card:
And I still have a very clear memory of walking along the north side of Askin Street in London and pulling a Russ Jackson card from a 1960 Topps CFL pack I'd just bought at a green grocer's on the east side of Wharncliffe Road!
Do you collect the 1954 Blue Ribbon CFL cards? The 1963 CFL coins?
