HOFer Bert Olmstead won 5 Stanley Cups during his 14 years in the NHL. At the conclusion of the 1961-62 season Olmstead was left unprotected by Toronto in the old inter-league draft and was claimed by the New York Rangers. The Leafs offered to trade for him over the summer to bring him back, but Bert wanted the trade to happen much quicker. When no trade materialized, he opted to retire instead of report to New York. This card, an early airbrush-alternative art example, shows him as a member of the Rangers, a team who's jersey he would not wear. Graded a sharp 7.5 NM+ by KSA.
