New Set Collection: 1963-64 Parkhurst

Marc Reaume
1963-64 Parkhurst #37 Marc-Avellin Reaume.

I've started a new set collection.  This one is more vintage than what I've been collecting so far.  It's the 1963-64 NHL hockey set from Parkhurst.

I like the look of these cards, with their bold colours and simple design.  Most of the back of the card is taken up with a mail-in offer, but some room was left for stats and player info.

The first card in my collection from this set is #37 Marc-Avellin Reaume who was playing for Les Canadiens of Montreal.

1963-64 Parkhurst #37 Marc-Avellin Reaume, reverse.
This is a 99-card set, which I think is a good size; big enough to be a challenge to complete, but not so big as to be impossible.  One down, 98 more to go!
