I purchased this set in the mid-80's from the same gentleman from Montreal that I bought the 1951-52 Parkhurst set from. He (as a kid) was able to obtain a few autographs from the players when he attended games at the Forum. The set is unusual in that both the Leafs and Habs cards are numbered separately 1-25, rather than collectively 1-50. The set also features the rookie cards of Hall of Famers Frank Mahovlich and Henri Richard. This set is also a return to hockey cards after a one-year layoff from Parkhurst, supposedly to assess the hockey card market. The U.S. NHL teams would be featured on Topps Hockey cards only for the rest of the decade. 5 of the cards are signed--with 3 of them by Hockey Hall of Famers: Toe Blake, Dick Duff and George Armstrong. I would grade this set about EX/MT on average with a few higher, and none lower than EX.
