Fi...There is just so much to love about this card.<br /><br />First off, it's a Gump card, so instantly it rules. <br /><br />Secondly, I assume the picture was taken during the 71-72 season and he is STILL not wearing a mask!<br /><br />Thirdly, there are few things better than Gump's heavily pomade-d hair. I bet he combed that do between periods while smoking a cigarette.<br /><br />Lastly, Paul Henderson's helmet is all sorts of weird and awesome and primitive!<br /><br />I guess what I'm saying is, this card is the bee's knees.Drop The Gloves!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15728510960787862232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-6067186101817786262011-02-05T11:24:00.795-07:002011-02-05T11:24:00.795-07:00on blockers...

Couldn't have saved that much weight in the grand scheme of things. Especially when the leg pads, etc. were ridiculously heavy. Probably just a 'look' thing.AvenueDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410527962292190560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-55744619425484306882011-02-05T09:34:35.877-07:002011-02-05T09:34:35.877-07:00it is indeed, a great card.

A few rinks, among them Toronto and Montreal, had a blue line there up until the NHL forced everyone to change to a yellow one.Captain Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189853561737282234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-73555100874534516922011-02-05T04:55:00.093-07:002011-02-05T04:55:00.093-07:00Great Card - those early 70s Topps/OPC sets are gr...Great Card - those early 70s Topps/OPC sets are great.John Batemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159036395402962119noreply@blogger.com
