Extra-special opportunity here for serious pre-war enthusiasts with this complete PSA-graded set, ranked #5 on the PSA Set Registry, of Imperial Tobacco's most elusive cardboard ensemble, released during the 1912-13 season and featuring no fewer than 21 Hockey Hall-of-Famers! What an array of stars from the pre-NHL era, led by card #1 of Georges Vezina. PSA has deemed it as Good 2, notably because of the rounded corners and the orange-ish stain in the right border. There are only six other cards that do not make it to VG-EX 4, with the vast majority coming in at either 4 or EX 5, upping the desirability of these encapsulated treasures. Tops condition wise is #7-Dellaire at EX-MT 6 (MC), followed by 35-Kendall at EX+ 5.5. An impressive one-third of the set (17/50) has been graded EX 5, highlighted by Hall-of-Famers 43-Cyclone Taylor, 5-Tom Dunderdale, 18-Paddy Moran, 25-Ernie Johnson, 27-Percy Lesueur, 29-Jack Darragh and 45-Didier Pitre. Also at EX 5 are 10-Vair, 11-Rowe, 12-Smith, 17-MacDonald, 21-Glass, 22-Smaill, 28-Ridpath, 30-Shore, 36-Fournier and 37-Prodgers. There are then seven cards at VG-EX+ 4.5, including the legendary Lester Patrick, as well as HOFers 15-Sprague Cleghorn, 23-Gordon Roberts and 49-Marty Walsh. Other 4.5s are 32-Currie, 40-Boyce and 42-Dennison. Another third of the set (17/50) is at VG 4, including honoured members 2-Broadbent, 3-Benedict, 16-Hall, 19-Hyland, 20-Art Ross, 24-Gardner and 26-Russell. Also at VG 4 are #s 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 31, 34, 39, 47 and 50-Odie Cleghorn. Completing the booty is one VG+ 3.5 (#4), four at VG 3 (#s 33, 38, 46-Laviolette and 48-Joe Malone), with 44-Newsy Lalonde joining Vezina at Good 2. All authentic, all graded and all awaiting your Hall of Fame graded card shrine!
