Like the iconic Howie Morenz, this Sport Kings card from 1933-34 is...one of a kind! This is an actual "patent card" used for the Patent Office in the United States to permit the Goudey Company's Sport Kings Gum cards to be printed! A "FEB 28 1934" stamp is on the upper reverse, while down below are letters and numbers. Several check marks in pencil are also on the back, pointing to an authority checking everything out and deeming each aspect as okay, okay, that's okay, etc. - interesting, or what?! We've always enjoyed the unique write-up on the back which includes "is sometimes known as the Speed Ball of the Canadiens" and "His road work in the mountains each fall trains him for the long winter grind." Crease-free card is slabbed "Authentic" by PSA and is card museum-worthy!
