Complete 1963 Topps Hockey set, a very interesting set of horizontal cards featuring two images of each player - a full-color portrait image, framed by a graphic of a hockey stick, alongside a black and white action image of the player.  This set, while mostly sharp, is subject to the condition issue of Topps' poor quality control of the era resulting in centering issues.  Additionally, this particular set does feature some toning issues, in that it appears that many of the cards are heavily toned, and often unevenly so - with yellowing at the edges of otherwise clean cards.  As a result, despite the sharpness, the technical grade would be about 6% EX/MT, 27% EX, 33% VG/EX, 24% VG, and 10% GOOD.  We have taken the liberty of sending four cards to PSA for trading, which were returned as follows:  #33 Bobby Hull (HOF): PSA EX-MT 6, #36 Stan Mikita (HOF): PSA EX 5, #45 Jacques Plante (HOF): PSA EX 5, Checklist: PSA VG-EX 4 (MK).  Additional keys grade as follows: #1 Schmidt VG, 8 Westfall G, 23 Hall EX, 46 Villemme EX, 47 Harvey VG/EX.  66 cards total.
