A handful of hockey crossovers

I just received the grades on my 10-card Collectors Club invoice and was pretty pleased with the results. The V145-1's were all purchased raw and were graded just about as I had expected, maybe even a bit better.
The PSA 8 '53 Parkies of Kennedy and Godfrey were once a KSA 8.5 and 9.0, respectively, and the PSA 8 '53 Kelly was once an SGC 88 card. I was a little worried about the Kelly crossing over and thought the Godfrey at least had a prayer at a 9, so I guess it all evens out. The Kelly's a card I still need, so maybe it's a bit better than even for me.
The real shock for me is that the PSA 8 '57 Parkie Dollard St. Laurent once resided in an AGA 8 holder. I think AGA may be best known for grading Orr rookies of ill repute, but I took a chance a while back on a couple of relatively cheap AGA cards. One was an AGA 7 '53 Ted Lindsay that I wound up cracking out and selling as a raw ex-mt+ card after I purchased a PSA 8 copy of the card, and the other was this St. Laurent that I bought for like $10. I don't know that I'll make a habit of buying high-grade AGA cards, but it was nice to have a small hobby gamble pay off for a change.

There are a few cards floating around from the set that have a redemption stamp of a leprechaun on the reverse. If you collected a complete set back in the day, you could turn the cards in for a prize. Because of that promotion, one of the cards (Bert Corbeau) is an insane short print so I'm not sure if I'll ever actually finish a set.
Also, Will, I'll e-mail you about the St. Laurent. Not sure if you're interested, but the '53 Parkies of Kennedy, a Hall of Famer, and Godfrey, a cool-looking horizontal card, are also available since I already have them in 8.

The 53 Parkies are my favorite parkhurst set. Anytime you want to unload mid-grade vintage or 50s hockey, you can always feel welcome to email or PM me if you wish with your price.

I didn't know you were a big '53 fan, grilloj. The PSA 6 Zeidel is an extra and I currently have extra 6's of #34 McCormack and #100 Quackenbush, but a guy who buys a lot of my extras (Tom Bourne/jackstropp on eBay) has the right of first refusal since I already e-mailed him about them. He's in Vegas right now and will probably be getting back with me shortly after the new year. If he passes, I'll let you know and I'll also keep you in mind in the future if I upgrade any cards or wind up with extras.
STEVE- i really want that Teeder Kennedy '53.....it'll fit in my type set and my HOF set. pm me with an offer
grilloj-Why would you say KSA is good at detecting trimmed/altered counterfeit cards?
Even though I'm a die hard baseball fan, I make it to one or two Ice Bats games a year. Tickets next to the glass are only like $18. I don't know the players or any guy not named Lemiuex or Gretzky, but a good minor league hockey game makes my week.
goodriddance-
Are you going to the Houston show next weekend?

I'm in Austin too. Its a regional show at the Brown Convention Center. They're supposed to have a pretty good autograph lineup from what I hear. Its Jan 9-12 I think, whatever next weekend is. I'm going to try to go, but I'm moving back up to Georgetown for school that weekend.
