Surprisingly, Jean-Guy Talbot and Bob Turner are wearing a Shawinigan Cataracts jersey on their rookie cards in the «Parkies» 1955-1956 series. You find five different Toronto Maple Leafs sweaters in that set, same number for Montreal, while Newsy Lalonde and Georges Vezina wear a dark blue turtle neck on nice «paintings» portraying both. Set is completed by press action photos colourized like postal cards...Pierre Cantinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02799345381073083413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525056977684151005.post-59457424894361123072015-03-02T13:47:06.827-06:002015-03-02T13:47:06.827-06:00My mistake : you are actually showing John Pierson...My mistake : you are actually showing John Pierson's card (#88), not Gardner's (#99); Schmidt is #92 : same photo as #88...Pierre Cantinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02799345381073083413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525056977684151005.post-86123595007224249562015-03-02T13:38:27.076-06:002015-03-02T13:38:27.076-06:00You show Cal Gardner, Parkhurst card, in Boston un...You show Cal Gardner, Parkhurst card, in Boston uniform. Did you ever notice that «his» head has been added to Milt Schmidt's body ? See background and the «C»... Cal was being freshly traded from Toronto. To my knowledge, it was the first occurrence of the «fake» technique on hockey cards... The next year, Parkies use a photo of Montreal Floyd Curry on Paul Masnick's card. In 1975, Mario Tremblay's rookie card has Gord McTavish picture... A great surprise for Tremblay's ma, I imagine. And Bobby Orr, with a false Chicago jersey on Boston bench !
