1969-70 Topps
Cesare Maniago #121 Minnesota North Stars (EX 5)
Secure a classic piece of hockey history with this vintage 1969-70 Topps Cesare Maniago #121 card. This item is an essential addition for collectors of the Minnesota North Stars or fans of vintage NHL netminders. Known for his acrobatic, "scrambly" style of play, Maniago used every limb to defend the crease, making him one of the most exciting goalies of his era. This card showcases a brilliant, color-rich illustrated border on the front, framing an on-ice action style shot of Maniago. The back contains a blue-ink design detailing his historical highlights, including an amusing cartoon and a breakdown of his 1968-69 life NHL record stats. Collectors will appreciate the historical write-up outlining his journey through 13 cities over a span of nine years before anchoring the expansion franchise in Minnesota.
Condition Report: A careful inspection of the card reveals eye-appealing qualities typical for a lightly handled vintage item. The centering is biased heavily toward the top and right margins on the front side. The corners show modest rounding and softening, which is expected from this thick cardboard stock, but they lack severe layering. The edges display standard micro-fuzzing and minor factory rough cuts but remain stable without substantial chipping or deep surface indentations. The card surfaces display vibrant green border ink on the front and clean card stock on the back without major stains, pinholes, or heavy paper loss. This specimen carries an estimated raw grade of EX 5.
