Cool card! But just to clarify, the Russians played Canada in the Summit series, not a team of NHL all-stars.

Canada, NHL All Stars, in the early 1970s they were the same thing:

7 Phil Esposito, center: 8 GP - 7 G - 6 A - 13 PTS - 15 PIM (Boston Bruins)
19 Paul Henderson, left wing: 8 GP - 7 G - 3 A - 10 PTS - 4 PIM (Toronto Maple Leafs)
28 Bobby Clarke, center: 8 GP - 2 G - 4 A - 6 PTS - 18 PIM (Philadelphia Flyers)
12 Yvan Cournoyer, right wing: 8 GP - 3 G - 2 A - 5 PTS - 2 PIM (Montreal Canadiens)
5 Brad Park, defense: 8 GP - 1 G - 4 A - 5 PTS - 2 PIM (New York Rangers)
10 Dennis Hull, left wing: 4 GP - 2 G - 2 A - 4 PTS - 4 PIM (Chicago Blackhawks)
22 J. P. Parise, left wing: 6 GP - 2 G - 2 A - 4 PTS - 28 PIM (Minnesota North Stars)
8 Rod Gilbert, right wing: 6 GP - 1 G - 3 A - 4 PTS - 9 PIM (New York Rangers)
18 Jean Ratelle, center: 6 GP - 1 G - 3 A - 4 PTS - 0 PIM (New York Rangers)
2 Gary Bergman, defense: 8 GP - 0 G - 3 A - 3 PTS - 13 PIM (Detroit Red Wings)
6 Ron Ellis, right wing: 8 GP - 0 G - 3 A - 3 PTS - 8 PIM (Toronto Maple Leafs)
33 Gilbert Perreault, center: 2 GP - 1 G - 1 A - 2 PTS - 0 PIM (Buffalo Sabres)
9 Bill Goldsworthy, right wing: 3 GP - 1 G - 1 A - 2 PTS - 4 PIM (Minnesota North Stars)
27 Frank Mahovlich, left wing: 6 GP - 1 G - 1 A - 2 PTS - 0 PIM (Montreal Canadiens)
20 Pete Mahovlich, left wing: 7 GP - 1 G - 1 A - 2 PTS - 4 PIM (Montreal Canadiens)
17 Bill White, defense: 7 GP - 1 G - 1 A - 2 PTS - 8 PIM (Chicago Blackhawks)
14 Wayne Cashman, right wing: 2 GP - 0 G - 2 A - 2 PTS - 14 PIM (Boston Bruins)
23 Serge Savard, defense: 5 GP - 0 G - 2 A - 2 PTS - 0 PIM (Montreal Canadiens)
21 Stan Mikita, center: 2 GP - 0 G - 1 A - 1 PTS - 0 PIM (Chicago Blackhawks)
15 Red Berenson, left wing: 2 GP - 0 G - 1 A - 1 PTS - 0 PIM (Detroit Red Wings)
25 Guy Lapointe, defense: 7 GP - 0 G - 1 A - 1 PTS - 6 PIM (Montreal Canadiens)
24 Mickey Redmond, right wing: 1 GP - 0 G - 0 A - 0 PTS - 0 PIM (Detroit Red Wings)
26 Don Awrey, defense: 2 GP - 0 G - 0 A - 0 PTS - 0 PIM (Boston Bruins)
11 Vic Hadfield, left wing: 2 GP - 0 G - 0 A - 0 PTS - 0 PIM (New York Rangers)
16 Rod Seiling, defense: 3 GP - 0 G - 0 A - 0 PTS - 0 PIM (New York Rangers)
3 Pat Stapleton, defense: 7 GP - 0 G - 0 A - 0 PTS - 0 PIM (Chicago Blackhawks)
Goaltenders:
35 Tony Esposito 4 GP - 2 wins - 1 loss - 1 tie - 3.33 GAA - .882 Sv Pct (Chicago Blackhawks)
29 Ken Dryden 4 GP - 2 wins - 2 losses - 0 ties - 4.75 GAA - .838 Sv Pct (Montreal Canadiens)

Sorry, but with all due respect, they are NOT the same thing.
As a proud Canadian, it was OUR COUNTRY that won the series, not an NHL all-star team.

Back in 72 the NHL was Canada much unlike today's NHL. If your not Canadian, part of your thought process back then was it was us (NHL/Canada) versus the world. With that said, the Canadian National Pride is completely understandable and should be embraced.

Proof Cards
 

I am very happy to have picked these up from the bay. Ten blank backed color proofs, along with one standard card from the 76-77 Topps Hockey release. Pictures to follow:

This ebay purchased arrived today leaving just four cards to complete the 1961 Topps set. Pat Stapleton had a 15 year NHL WHA career, but this card always looked a little creepy to me.

Here's a card I've never seen before, a 1962-63 Sudbury Wolves Crown Life Hockey School Gerry Cheevers pre-rookie card. Back then, he was known as "Jerry"!

That Cheevers is awesome...
