1970 Dad's Cookies help

Carew29

As my life has been 99.9999 baseball collecting, i was surfing ebay and came across these hockey cards. To me they are very eye appealing.
What is the story on these cards? There are still lot's of low pop cards in the pop report. Is there any kind of staining problems with these cards? Where were they distributed? Thanks for any help on these cards.

Sorry I would like to help but I'm too young to know anything about these from first hand experience. I searched for quite awhile for any info on them since I like to learn about this stuff but all I came up with was that they came in Dad's brand cookie boxes in 1970 and the set has 144 cards in it. From looking around on eBay and other places I think making a high grade set wouldn't be too difficult or expensive to do.

I'll debate one point you made about the difficulty of making a high grade set. Last time i saw this was with the 1936 S & S game cards a few years back. They were a very low pop set at the time and not even in PSA'S Price Guide. A friend of mine and i went in half on a couple of sets and sent the best ones in to PSA. Shortly thereafter we started selling them on ebay graded and the next thing you know there were hundreds of these cards ungraded hitting ebay. It's like a fantasy player, once he get's hot everybody buys him. I think this is the next hot thing. I don't think i am wrong on this though. PSA thought enough of the set to list in their Price Guide.

These cards fall into the "beautiful ugly" category for me. They were licensed only by the NHLPA and not the NHL, which is why they are wearing those uniforms. It's a set I'd like to do at some point, but it would definitely be in SGC holders. They float around in the tallboy PSA holders a little too freely.
