In this day and age you practically have to have been produced before 1970, or have an autograph or game used swatch to be valuable. To me though, they're priceless!shoeboxlegendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642879419337014960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-53757719063333674452015-04-11T08:13:06.577-04:002015-04-11T08:13:06.577-04:00are all Hartford whalers and Quebec nordique cards...are all Hartford whalers and Quebec nordique cards valuable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-68317156552810565452012-11-15T15:41:13.554-05:002012-11-15T15:41:13.554-05:00Hah, no problem, thanks for the comment!

The most in-depth was a comment from reader 'dsd'. Here are his words verbatim (notice you were correct about the Leafs player!):<br /><br />"An interesting thing about your #27 card - the Bernie Parent retro card. It's a great pic - but it isn't Bernie, it's Bruce Gamble. Every picture I have researched of a Flyer goalie wearing #30 and this mask (called the '3/4 fibrosport' by mask fans) is Gamble. I don't believe Bernie got a fibro until he joined Plante with the Leafs. The Leaf player, Bill MacMillan, places this picture in the 1970-71 or 1971-72 season. Gamble and Parent each wore #30 before and after they switched teams.<br /><br />This mistake is common - - the hockey hall of fame also identifies this picture as Parent. Even Parent's website mistakenly has a picture of Gamble on it. If you're into masks (I am) you can match this mask to Gamble as a Leaf or Flyer but not Parent. The other thing is the make of the stick and the taping. Bernie used Sherwoods and taped them a specific way. The make (CCM) and taping style matches Gamble in this pic."shoeboxlegendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642879419337014960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-9309850716699106622012-11-15T13:52:27.785-05:002012-11-15T13:52:27.785-05:00I love these posts.

I've never collected vintage Topps from any year where there was a matching OPC set, but there are enough differences in '71-72 that I may have to start. The Howe is great.<br /><br />It's cool that the facsmile auto on the '77-78 insert set actually resembles Rogie's real auto.<br /><br />I like the Orr Masterpieces card, but the '72-73 is my favourite, as well. 1966-70 are obviously in the ballpark, as well.<br /><br />O'Ree has a great signature. That's a neat card.<br /><br />The Fedorov was every bit as big as the Lindros in early 1991. Those were going at $20 a pop.<br /><br />As to the not-Bernie, I can't believe I never knew that was Gamble, and I have no idea who the Leaf is and I should. It might be Bill MacMillan? How did you find out it wasn't Bernie?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-42067546692561033082012-11-15T12:24:45.148-05:002012-11-15T12:24:45.148-05:00Hackenbush, I actually agree with you...fear not, ...Hackenbush, I actually agree with you...fear not, the Golden Jet will be making at least one appearance later in the list!shoeboxlegendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642879419337014960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-19952834302328379682012-11-15T12:16:21.648-05:002012-11-15T12:16:21.648-05:00Being of the vintage variety myself I'm partia...Being of the vintage variety myself I'm partial to the older guys.
