Still chipping away at my Parkhurst hockey sets. This "pin-holed" 1963 Henri Richard ebay pick-up was $4.20 delivered and I was happy to get it!

You and me are probably sifting through the same dollar boxes at the National, Larry.

I'm not making the trip to Chicago this year Adam so the dollar boxes are all yours!

Hello! New to net 54 and collecting as a whole! Thought I’d share my fav card I’ve picked up this year! 1962 Parkhurst, Gilles Tremblay.

Very nice, can't go wrong with vintage Parkhurst hockey.

[LuckyLarry]

Look, if you are like me, and you are trying to complete your Parkhurst hockey sets, you will have to shop with the great dealers north of the border. Watch the "small" print that describe shipping costs. Watch if your snipes are US or Canadien currency. Don't watch your mailbox because it will take time. Patience grasshopper.
So I picked up 20 low grade hits to my pathetic 1952 full set attempt. All of these were auctions style listings, and I missed on at least twenty more. Total cost for the cards in US $44.93 and shipping $7.48 US total $52.41 or $2.62 per card delivered which is quite good I think. About 1/2 the cards suffer from slight back damage.
It took 24 days after payment to get the cards to me in Florida but I think it was worth the wait!

I like hockey and I like hockey cards. But I don't know much about the players. Recent eBay win 1960 Parkhurst #3 Johnny Bower arrived today now I need only five cards to complete this set. Card cost $4.52 but $4.48 to ship from north of the border. I was going to post that I might have overpaid a bit for this card, not much though (based on the low grade). But Johnny Bower is a Hall of Famer plus in 2017 he was voted one of hockeys greatest 100 players ever plus he lied about his age to join the military and served in WWII plus it's a pretty awesome card.

[Peter_Spaeth]

I love these, although most I think do not.

I don't know much about GMA cards but this one looked good and it was priced right.
I've been an Eberle fan since his World Junior days and seeing how he was playing in the 1st round against the Penguins, I thought I'd see if I could find his Young Guns RC at a reasonable price.

Recent arrivals from North of the border I picked up 20 1955 Parkhurst beaters individual ebay auction format for $107.10 total delivered or $5.35 each but included a couple of tough ones #78 The Montreal Forum among them!

Sounds like a pretty good deal, Larry.

Congrats on the P/U's.

[irv]

A new addition I am quite happy to own!

[jad22]

Some random Cousy items.

[daves_resale_shop]

Very excited to add this 1971 team issue to the collection. And its signed on the reverse!

Long time grail for me. LOA from Mikan's son attests that it was from Mikan's personal collection. It was originally sold by PWCC, but wishful thinking says it's OK.

Very nice.

[Exhibitman]

Love the Mikan!

I am certain that these 1986 Merchantes are not Mosered:








Added an early MJ too:



probably my favorite 1980s Jordan card.

[irv]

A couple recent additions, including a signed Wendel Clark card. One of my all time favorite players! I need to acquire his OPC RC now.

Sweet card. I was bidding on the lot that recently auctioned. I don’t really collect a whole lot of cards, but these are bad a$$.

I don't post here often. But here's some of my more recent stuff.

[LuckyLarry]

Im still out here chipping away at my sets!

[LuckyLarry]

OH YEAH!
1963 Parkhurst Gordie Howe
1957 Parkhurst Jacques Plante

[Peter_Spaeth]

First year (Russian) Ovechkin.

[GregZakwin]

Had it for quite some time....finally got it scanned in.

[LuckyLarry]

These three cards (Johnny Boyer, Jean Beliveau, and Gordie Howe) finished off
my 1962 set!
Larry

[GregZakwin]

[Peter_Spaeth]

Based on my research this one is a genuine 1993 pack or redemption card and not, as so many of them are, signed later.

[Exhibitman]

[Bill77]

Great minds think alike I guess.

[GregZakwin]

[Peter_Spaeth]

I am told this card may have been released before the 101 which would make it Jordan's first card. PSA has killed the market for these, hard to believe how relatively inexpensive Star cards are for what they are and for their production numbers.

[GregZakwin]

[Peter_Spaeth]

That's the best looking Giannis rookie I've seen. I will have to add it to my list.

[irv]

Just a couple recent additions.

[Nonsensename1]

Not centered but pretty sharp

Gretzky has some interesting RC alternatives -- this, the McCarthy PC, and the Sportscaster.

[irv]

A couple recent wins that just arrived.

I was bidding on the more centered/colorful copy when I came across the second one. It also came with another Art Ross Trophy card, which I didn't need, but thought I had better bid in case I missed out on the 1st card. (All OPC cards)

Needless to say, I ended up winning both auctions, which I am pretty happy about.
Both cards look ex/mt to me but maybe the best one even higher as other than a slight corner touch on the top left, the card is perfect, imo.

[irv]

And another one. Santa came early.

1984 Cam Neely OPC RC

[Exhibitman]

So funny story on this one:



1925 Exhibit Champions Passaic HS basketball team w/HOFer Ernest Blood (coach, on the far left).

I had been collecting the 1925 Champions set for many years. I got to 31/32 cards with this one then spent a couple of years in limbo waiting for a final card which I did not even have the name of. Turns out it was a pool player named Ralph Greenlief [sic: Greenleaf]. Eventually I decided to sell off the set except the Ruth. Less than a year later I stumble across a group of them that has not only the Greenlief but this one too. The two toughies of the set. So I bought it because there are so few known examples.

ETA: Flipped them already.

[irv]

Just arrived today.

[Kurri17]

Nice Orr. Love the oddball type stuff like that, and it tugs at me to expand my Orr collection. Keep the hockey coming, love it.

My BIL brought some deckle edge cards up over Christmas that he had just recently re-found.

Not sure if he gave them to me or just forgot to take them home but either way, I decided to check them out again and put a few in sleeves and top loaders.

Most are creased/damaged, including this Orr, which has a horizontal dent across his name, but I still thought it was worthy of the top loader.

[irv]

A couple more that I realized I hadn't scanned yet.

[daves_resale_shop]

Guess i never added this one to this thread 1966 Orr JD mccarthy with period signature. Couldn’t find too many of these online, but it appears that most are personalized

Very nice!

I'd love to own one of these vintage signed Orr cards like you and others have posted up.

Maybe, because I live in Oshawa, I'll find one one day?
