Ok, I know this blog was supposed to be about 1970's hockey cards but every time I turn around there is something else that side tracks me and I feel compelled to do a "memory recall" of these neat little treasures. In 1968 Post Cereal introduced a little plastic game board and 30 picture marbles. Now, the marbles came two to a box of cereal and you had to order the neat little game board or "rink". There were 30 plastic marbles in all. Fifteen blue which represented the Toronto Maple Leafs and fifteen red which represented the Montreal Canadians. Cost for the complete set in todays market in near mint condition can run close to $400 or better. 1968-1969 Post Hockey Marbles Set contains 30 unnumbered marbles and one game board Montreal Canadiens 􀂉 Ralph Backstrom 􀂉 Jean Beliveau 􀂉 Yvan Cournoyer 􀂉 John Ferguson 􀂉 Terry Harper 􀂉 Ted Harris 􀂉 Jaques Laperriere 􀂉 Jaques Lemaire 􀂉 Henri Richard 􀂉 Bobby Rousseau 􀂉 Serge Savard 􀂉 Gilles Tremblay 􀂉 J.C.
