5.5" x 3.5".

Condition
Four cards have recently been graded by KSA with Tim Horton's rookie, receiving a grade of 5.5 EX+, Gordie Howe's second year card a grade of 6 EX-MT, Terry Sawchuk a grade of 4 VG-EX and George Armstrong's rookie a grade of 4 VG-EX. The set very consistently averages within the four graded cards and exhibits crease free surfaces with good bu imperfect centering and corners. Notably, Maurice Richard's #1 card is lower grade despite being crease free. 16/105 cards exhibit an oil like stain to their reverse sides including Ted Kennedy, Harry Lumley, Maurice Richard and Dickie Moore. 7/105 cards exhibit notable creases (Card #4, 6, 12, 49, 60, 61, 100). Upon close inspection, all cards show a faint blue to their reverse side bottom left corner that appears to be a severely faded writing in pen or pencil crayon.
