1960 Los Angeles Examiner newsprint RC of Jerry West. The paper issued a set for the Lakers, Dodgers and Angels in 1960. The cards would have run one day each.

Some recent pick ups including the Oshawa Generals card of Eric Lindros.

I never missed a home game when he played but wasn't collecting cards back then so I never bothered with these.

I seen a recent, pre covid, interview with Eric Lindros and Tara Sloan talking about the reason why he didn't sign with Quebec.
I knew there was something, and maybe this had already been disclosed, but he said he wouldn't have put on the sweater nor signed with Toronto if Marcel Abut owned/ran the Leafs.
Without saying it, Eric knew things about Abut back then and despised the man. He also talked about how he was smeared in the media because Abut had the money and the means and was able to do that with ease.
I'm bias being from Oshawa but I always felt he got a bum rap. He was an awesome player but most will remember him based on how the media portrayed him. (Vid of interview below, and I was glad to see Eric, after the fans found out the story, welcomed him back)

A recent P/U to go with my Sawchuk Beehive photo.

A big p/u for me this afternoon.

I'm not sure what it is exactly with this card, but I have wanted this card for more than a while now.

Of course an Orr rookie would top it, but for some reason, despite his other 67 cards, this one has always been my favorite.
(How it is only a 6 is beyond me?)

Just beautiful. I love finding great looking 6s, and I bet the savings for that being "just" a 6 was significant. I think I have managed only one pre-70 Orr, they are pricey, but man they are great cards so I get it. Congrats on pulling in such a much-wanted cards like that.

Just another one for the Trophy Collection
I probably have about ten of these in varying grades
Have a hard time saying no to them

Sorry, meant to ask, since you collect Trophy cards. Do you know anything about the Orr written in yellow on the back of this Vezina trophy card?
Info seems scarce even though these carry a bit of a premium.
