Wow someone's doing hockey at last😊,thank you so much ,hockey always been my favorite sport,especially in the arrigional 6 days,I loved your cards ,I have most of them, you didn't show two of the greatest players,Rocket Richard and Mike Bossy,maybe next time? Gordie Howe will always be the Greatest, he coulddo it all,and didn't need anyone to protect him. My top 5 great ones are, Howe,Hull,Orr,Richard, Bossy, Then Lemieux,Gretzky,Ovechkin,McDavid,Jagr, Lafleur, all I this order. Mr Gordie Howe will forever be #1.
Fantastic cards, thanks for showing. They look like they’re in great condition. I was always mesmerized by Ken Dryden’s mask and I love the pictures of him leaning on his stick under his chin. I live in Ontario but would go to the Aud in Buffalo and watch the Bruins play in the playoffs. I’d pay $10 and get standing room only right at the top. I loved watching Neely and Oates , Wesley, Janney and Joyce, Bourque and Kluzak. Those were the days.
Hi Steve, I just subscribed to your channel and was thrilled to see some '60s and '70s hockey cards featured. I'm a vintage collector myself, focusing on hockey, baseball, and football. It's funny how similar our views are on the top three players. While I believe Gretzky had the greatest career of any player, I don't think he was the greatest player. Bobby Orr was the most talented player to ever lace up skates, and he would have excelled in any era. Gretzky, on the other hand, thrived in the perfect era for his skills. Poor Bobby's knees took a beating from the opposition during the rough-and-tumble '70s. You did a great job describing his skating style-he truly revolutionized the position. Doug Harvey set the standard before Bobby came along, but Bobby showed the NHL that defensemen could dominate offensively as well. Good luck to anyone trying to break his single-season +/- record! It’s fantastic to see all those beautiful vintage cards and hear someone pronounce the names correctly. I agree with you on the '72 set. I didn’t start collecting hockey cards until 1979, but my older brother and cousin had plenty of early and mid-'70s cards that ended up in my shoebox. I used to love rubbing the pucks on the 1980 Topps cards with a dime and pinning the team poster inserts on my wall. Those were good times. Thanks for sharing!

I love those old vintage hockey cards they're just hard to get in the area where I live but I have quite a few great show
great video!
My God man. You could be my twin brother. 😮
Love that old Bobby Orr hockey card
And my Mom was born in Mass. Hmmm
Stan Makita invented the curved stick. His teammate, a guy by the name of Hull, benefited measurably from this innovation.
I have that 72 Orr card and I have the 70 with the circle in the middle I forget.
Gretzky is by far the greatest Hockey player ever
replace those ugly yellowed top loaders.
