Here are a few recent hockey pick-ups:

• 1960 letter to Ted "Teeder" Kennedy signed by Clarence Campbell
(elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966)

• Jean Beliveau Molson postcard from the 1960's. This one is cool because it is signed twice and
includes a personal note written by Beliveau himself, explaining where he was when this photo was taken

• A 1967 General Mills Bobby Orr with a sweet signature!

Not recent pickups, had these since 1971, but with all the neat Bobby Orr items, figured I'd show some of mine

I got the 76-77 tall boys set today. I got it for a very nice price. However, today when I was trying to get through the packing tape and getting the box open, the scissors nicked the surface of the Erving #1. It is small and hard to notice, but it is drivng me crazy in an otherwise NM set with fantastic centering and great corners. If anyone has a raw sharp Erving for sale at a reasonable price, let me know.

Here are some of my items The first three are 54-55 topps I have most of the set in like condition Still need a four to complete. The marks on the cards are actually marks on my scanner I didn't clean the glass when I scanned the cards. There is a bower rookie, Cyclone Taylor printers plate from his time with Portland Lakes Hockey club (pre NHL) also a Roy Worters printers plate. He was the first goalie to win the Hart Trophy and Vezina trophy. The signature cards have many H.O.F. players and they were obtained at a 55-56 exhibition game between the Hawks and Bruins held in St Catherines Ont. The St Cathrines Teepees were Chicagos farm club. You will note that Don Cherry and Terry Sawchuk are on the same card. How rare is that? The Chicago sheet has Dick Irivin the legendary coach. This was his last year because he died of cancer shortly after. The rocket richard card is not real old but it is an original Autograph obtained during an oldtimers game held in St Thomas. The Johnny Pierson card is part of my complete set for that year and It is the only example of a blank back that I have seen anywhere. I have the complete master set (both back versions) for these including the album. I can post tons more if anyone is interested and would like to see them. I have tons of cards from the 50's that I am willing to trade if there is any interest.

This month I finished my '67-'68 Topps hockey setI'm still waiting on that "slow boat from Canada" to deliver a couple of cards, but this second year Bobby Orr arrived today slabbed in a Beckett 4 VG-EX holder.

Most recent pick-ups. Two more Orr for my slow accumulation of his stuff in graded form, along with the Espo from a subset I love and finally a PSA Fuhr RC. Thanks for the look.
