1967 General Mills Hockey Overview
The five cards that make up the 1967 General Mills Hand Cut set came from General Mills cereal boxes. The fronts feature a color player photo within a white border, and the backs are blank and unnumbered.
I’ve read that a full box that showed the Harry Howell card and a checklist of the five cards exists, but I’ve never seen it myself.
PSA has graded 38 of these cards; 6 Beliveau, 11 Howe, 5 Howell, 5 Mikita, and 11 Orr.

They’re all key with only five cards, but Orr is the most expensive, as the most dominant player in vintage hockey, from a collecting point of view.
