Here are four SGC-graded minor star cards from the rarer 1966-67 Topps USA Test set. Topps had been manufacturing their cards in Canada since 1954 and decided in 1966 that they'd test out a domestically printed set. Topps did not need bilingual English-French cards for US buyers and with the popularity of the game high thanks to Bobby Orr's highly publicized entry to the NHL, Topps made the move with this limited distribution set. Included are #60 Eric Nesterenko (5 EX), #61 Doug Mohns (4 VG-EX), #64 Ed Johnston (5 EX) and #65 John Ferguson (4.5 VG-EX+). The USA test was a much smaller print run. All four cards are crease free with solid corners and gloss, with only the very typical centering issue present. Since it was a "test" set quality control suffered and centering issues are widespread with this limited set. Cards present very well, see scans!
