VINTAGE NEAR SET 59/60!!! The 1954–55 Topps hockey set was Topps' first attempt at producing trading cards for the National Hockey League. At the time, the league consisted of six teams known as the Original Six. Topps included all four American teams in this popular 60-card set - Boston Bruins, Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings, and New York Rangers. Each card in this set features a player photo (in a blue and red line background), team logo, team name, position, and a facsimile autograph. The back of the card features biographical information, statistics from the 1953–54 season, and a few notes featuring hockey facts.

After this season Topps did not produce a hockey set again for another 2 years until the 1957 set because the NHL went after Topps for not getting their permission to use the team logos in the card photos. This offered near set has 59 of the 60 cards, missing just #60 Milt Schmidt has been PSA Registered with a 6.64 GPA and is 98.33% complete. All 59 cards are graded by PSA with the highlights as follows: #1 Dick Gamble PSA 6, #2 Bob Chrystal PSA 6, #8 GORDIE HOWE PSA 7, #45 Tony Leswick PSA 7.5, #51 Ted Lindsay PSA 7, #57 Bill Dineen PSA 7, #58 Terry Sawchuck PSA 8 (OC) & #59 Marcel Bonin PSA 6.
