Picked up a Topps Gretzky with a 1980s signature. Being in pen, it kind of gets lost against the darker parts of the card but happy to have it.

Are you going to get it graded/authenticated? |

Nice Gretz!
Owned his rookie at one point and will definitely add one to stash in the collection again one day |

Just some random pick ups over the last couple/few months.
|
Bought one box of the 22-23 Parkhurst Champions and pulled this redemption.What surprised
me was just how fast Upper Deck go me the card. Less than 10 days (7 business days). So good for Upper Deck. Thank you. Very nice card,3 colour patch plus an auto. So not really a pick up. Thanks. |
OK, I picked up these couple pictures of Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr.I have no idea where or how
they were obtained back in the day. So any help there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Wayne Gretzky Measure 8-1/8 inches X 10-1/2 inches https://i.imgur.com/kUhrzhI.jpg Bobby Orr measures 10-7/8 inches X 16-1/4 inches https://i.imgur.com/0KCYBvS.jpg |
1957 Parkhurst HOF Jean Beliveau arrived today from the great white north, leaving me two cards shy of the complete set Henri and Maurice Richard left to go!

So this is more of a project than a pick up that I have been working on for the last couple months.
I recently purchased a good amount of the 1972 Team Canada autographs. Some were from the set released by the Hudson Bay company signed in gold sharpie. But others were signed in blue sharpie and I really liked the blue on the 1991 Future Trend cards. These were the same cards that if you were lucky back in 1991 you could pull one of the Team Canada autos from the packs.These autos are very scarce and to this day remains the only packed pull auto of Ken Dryden. Which is next to impossible to find and when you do they cost a lot of money to obtain. So I knew these packed pull autos with that swirl on the surface were not something I wanted to undertake So I went with the blur autos and since I had a very nice set of the 1972 O-Pee-Chee Team Canada. I figured why not just collect the autos of the 28 players in this OPC set. Take notice that the Dryden is a cut auto. I did buy a Dryden PSA.DNA Dryden auto but I decided that I would sooner keep that auto and go with this much cheaper version.It is an auto from one of his book signings. But it still looks very nice. And as you can tell I would really like to pick up a Bobby Clarke and a Gary Bergman in blue ink so it would look uniform all the way through So if anyone has either of these two players signed in blue ink on the 1991 Future Trend card then PLMK.I see a few Clarke autos on eBay but they are in the USA and people want like $25.00 for postage.When they could just place in an envelope and send it for under $2.00.But I will eventually find them. So that is the back story so on with what they look like. Thanks. https://i.imgur.com/BYMwJfw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hkBL88C.jpg https://i.imgur.com/CPbqQ6u.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7UR7oLX.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RiUy1nD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1lWTX4p.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BacZCr7.jpg |

Imo, they are an underrated card/collectable. I grabbed this Orr sometime ago and found out through a member here finding Orr or any of the others in 10's is rather difficult/rare. Likely due to their size/shape, they aren't as desirable as regular cards and why they've never really taken off? But, then again, maybe some out there do have complete graded/raw sets? |

I really like oddball cards like Dad’s Cookies. I have to imagine the print run was much more limited than the regular OPC/Topps sets but I could be wrong.

Quote:
absolutely a lot smaller run then either of the two major releases. I just purchased over 150 of the 1928-1934 LaPresse photos and with them only being distributed in the province of Quebec you can imagine how few are out there. And now that are 90+ years old. They are really quite scarce. |

I normally do not buy Topps hockey. But these few vintage cards were to nice to pass up.Thanks

So my latest pickup(on Tuesday) was a complete set of the 1968-69 Post NHL Marble set.
The game board is still in it's original box with the shipping label still there.The board is as nice as I have ever seen. It also has the game instructions which is printed in both English and French. The only thing I am not sure about are the two dice that came with it.I would have thought the game would have had one red die and one blue die.But mine are both red so I am not sure if they are original or not.If someone knows than PLMK. Thanks. https://i.postimg.cc/rFpZK98b/z2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fTg2X0yb/z3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rw0h9FRN/z-4.jpg |
Can't complain about this one. One of Orr's toughest. Should be back from PSA next week. POP 1 and highest graded.

Picked this up today for what I think was a good price. I honestly don’t have enough experience with Parkhurst so I’d like to make sure it’s not a reprint. Looking for Irv, Camaro, or any others to weigh in. Yeah, the back is a mess but I’m not looking at that :)

I tried to find a/some reprint(s) on eBay of your card but came up empty. Not conclusive, of course, but a good sign, imo anyways, that maybe that particular card was never reprinted? Congrats on the pick up. Enjoy. :) https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...SAAEgKzdvD_BwE |

While the Parkhurst cards are actually a bit higher then the new stuff.These Parkhurst sets were 2-1/2 X 3-5/8 while modern cards are 2-1/2 X 3-1/2.Also most all the reprints are much thinner stock.It looks like a few layers to the cardboard when you look at the paper loss on the back.This indicates a much thicker stock them modern cards. Take care and happy collecting. |
Thank you both for the quick replies. I’m pretty well versed on the 60s and 70s but the 50s are a different animal for me. Glad I made the pickup at the price. Also got a couple of “modern” oddball cards that I’ll post today.

Or if it was released it may have different players or pictures on the cards. Looking forward to what you have.Take care and happy collecting. |
