Set Update: 1963-64 Parkhurst

Marcel Pronovost

1963-64 Parkhurst #46 Rene Marcel Pronovost.

Here's a new addition to my 1963-64 Parkhurst set.  This is the first player added to my set from the Detroit Red Wings.

By this point in his career, Pronovost was 33 years old and had played in 848 NHL games.  He would eventually play in over 1200 NHL games!

This legendary defenseman was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame 15 years later, in 1978, along with winger Andy Bathgate and goalie Jacques Plante.

My set collection now consists of two cards.

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.

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!
