Those are really nice cards, that's for sure. I picked up a modest Jordan for my collection; always liked the way this sticker looked

The 87 sticker is so much better than the 86 IMO.

The print job on that Hull is superb.

Adam, I have always loved the picture of Bobby Hull Topps used on that 63/64 Topps.

Even better is the full-length use of the photo for their breathtaking 61/62 design. For years and years I wanted that 61/62 Bobby after I saw a picture of it for the first time. About 10 years ago, a California dealer sold me a raw version he said was guaranteed to grade out at near mint. I can just imagine the negative gears working in your head. His price was high, too.

Well, I took a chance, bought the card, and it was a beauty----clean as could be, no pesky print spots whatsoever, the beautiful photo of Bobby crisp and clear, and to top it off, it was 50-50 dead centered both ways! If you know your 61/62 Topps Hockey, you know if Topps got a card dead-centered, it was an anomaly, 'cause they're NEVER centered. I submitted it with several other cards, including most of my childhood Hulls I had gotten through the trustworthy mail order firm, The Trading Card Company, out of Farmington Hills, Michigan.

When I unwrapped SGC's results, the 61/62 Topps Hull came back 96 MINT. I was pleased, truly, but deep down I thought the card deserved their rare 98 GEM MINT.

Honestly, until a few years ago, SGC would rarely, rarely, and I mean RARELY grant a card their 98 GEM MINT. PSA seemed to do so much more often. Now, I understand not granting the 100 PRISTINE very rarely, but when you get so picky on the top scale, it's no wonder I wished I had just gone to PSA. At least they give 10s when 10s are deserved. It was as if a 96 MINT was the highest grade SGC ever gave. Just an impression.

Way back when, perhaps before you were born, Adam, I bought the 62/63 and 63/64 Bobby Hulls at the big Detroit show for a buck apiece. It was about '73-'75. They looked at least EX-MT, and you seldom saw early Topps hockey at even that show. I sent in the blue-bordered 62/63 to SGC at the same time I sent the other. Came back 80 EX-NrMt 6, so that was fine.

Enough of my palabre. Regards. ---Brian Powell

I haven't seen him since but hope to this weekend? I am sure he will want to discuss hockey cards and other cards so I am looking forward to it.

I decided to replace the card I gave him after doing a quick search and finding this one.

Not much value at all in these cards unless they are mint, but I am glad to have one back in my collection.

Picked this up in May, just got it back from PSA. This is one of those cards that will bring me smiles until the day I die.
