Excerpt
The 1961 Topps Hockey set features 66 cards measuring 2-1/2" by 3-1/2". Players from three teams anchor the set: the Boston Bruins (#s 1-22), Chicago Blackhawks (#s 23-44) and New York Rangers (#s 45-65), and card #66 is a checklist. Two "Hockey Highlights" cards with a memorable event or moment are found after each team card. Card fronts feature a posed or in-action photo with the player name, team and position within a hockey puck design at the lower left corner.

More set notes
Only three baseball players, but some very significant non-baseball cards mark this set.
The 1988 U.S. Olympic baseball team joins rookies and traded veterans.
Focusing on more than 150 years worth of America's most famous movers and shakers.
This set consists of 792 standard-size cards. Cards were primarily issued in 17-card wax packs, 50-card rack packs and factory sets. Card fronts feature wood grain borders encasing a color photo (reminiscent of Topps classic 1962 baseball set). Subsets include Record Breakers (1-7), Turn Back The Clock (311-315), All-Star selections (595-616), and Team Leaders (scattered throughout the set). The manager cards contain a team checklist on back.
