Sweet Georgia Brown, that's a nice card! Has anyone ever discussed or figured out who the player in the background is?

I first saw the back of that card and wondered why it was graded only an 8. the back looks great.

Here is the Maple Leafs' roster for the 1965-66 season...I guess we could figure it out.

My guess is it is Larry Hillman, based on the jersey number.

The small tilt keeps it from being a 9 I'm thinking.

Hillman must have been in the good graces of the Hockey Card Gods...He is the standard backdrop for the 1966-67 Topps set...Here are a few...

What is Bobby doing at a Canadian's vs Maple Leafs game?

I'm not saying the card is trimmed, but it looks funny. Doesn't seem to fit in the holder. The top edge looks like it's missing something. Anyone have comparable cards from this year?

This reminds of a great Kids in the Hall sketch that ends with the punchline, "Every time I come to this city, some guy picks me up at the bus station, takes me to a Leaf game, gets me p**sed, then tries to...."

I was going to guess the guy in the background was the ghost of Bill Barilko.
