Lot # 3078: 1954-1955 Topps Hockey Complete Set (60)

Presented is a complete set of the landmark 1954-1955 Topps Hockey series, the first hockey set issued by Topps. This important set includes only 60 cards and features players from the four American teams: Detroit, New York, Chicago, and Boston. This is an extremely high quality complete set of 1954-1955 Topps, one of the most popular and classic of all hockey-card sets. Condition of this set is 28% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt, 49% Ex, and 23% Vg-Ex (including one Vg). We have selected four cards for grading and encapsulation by SGC. Keys: #1 Gamble (Vg-Ex), 3 Howell (Ex), 5 Kelly (Ex), 8 Howe (EX/NM 6), 10 Worsley (Vg-Ex+), 11 Bathgate (Vg-Ex+), 18 Mohns RC (Ex-Mt), 39 Delvecchio (NM 7), 41 Stanley (Ex-Mt+), 51 Lindsay (EX/NM+ 6.5), 56 LaPrade (Vg-Ex+), 58 Sawchuk (EX/NM+ 6.5), and 60 Schmidt (Vg+). The flush-to-the-bottom-border design of the 1954-1955 Topps Hockey set makes this issue particularly susceptible to edge and corner wear and makes the assembly of high-grade sets all the more difficult. This is an outstanding mid- to high-grade set, far above average for this issue, with tremendous eye appeal across the board. A high-quality complete set of one of card collecting's most popular hockey issues. Total: 60 cards.
