1963-64 Parkhurst NHL Hockey set

For its final set, 1963-64 Parkhurst featured one of the most beautiful designs ever on a hockey card set. The Gordie Howe card is considered one of the most iconic cards ever produced. There was an emphasis given to the two Canadian teams, with two cards for nearly every player.
The fronts featured a player picture superimposed against a team-specific background design. Detroit Red Wings were shown with an American flag in the background, regardless of that player's actual birth nation. Toronto Maple Leafs were placed in front on the Red Ensign that served as the national flag at the time. Montreal Canadiens weren't given any flag, instead they had parallel bars as a background.
Key rookies in the 99-card set include Cesare Maniago, Red Berenson, Alex Faulkner, John Ferguson and Jacques LaPerriere. My set grades about Ex/MT with a few NM and a few EX.
