John H.My brother-in-law offered me a bunch of 1960-61 Shirriff NHL Hockey coins when they were moving several years ago. He had shown them to me a few years before that and I was quite mesmorized by the lot. He had 58 out of the 120 in the set and most of the big names like Howe, Hull, etc. were included. He knew they had some value (the set books at $600) but he gave them to me because he knew I was a sports collector and historian and that I would enjoy having them while he would tuck them away somewhere, never to be seen again. I finished the set over the course of a couple of years and I can't envision ever selling them. If I ever did, however, I would make him accept half of the sale price in some form or another.
