The most grandiose encapsulated lineup of William Patterson V145-2 cards ever assembled is offered here, with the PSA perennial champion boasting both a set rating and GPA With Top Pop Bonuses mark of 6.46 – remarkable. Propelling the set to such heights are twenty cards which are Pop-1 examples with none higher on the PSA Population Report, led by the set’s key card, that picturing a young Howie Morenz and which earned EX-MT+ 6.5 status, the same as the card of fellow Hall-of-Famer Jack Adams. Card #43, picturing the legendary Georges Vezina, is a Pop-4 EX-MT 6 and second to none at PSA, similar to eleven others, most of them being Pop-2s or Pop-3s. The overall condition leader and edged by just two NM-MT 8 cards amongst the entire V-145-2 population is the Jim Herberts card (#25) at NM+ 7.5. Five NM 7s are alone in first place on their respective ‘’lines” of the Population Report, including 39-Punch Broadbent and 45-Odie Cleghorn. Notables also receiving NM 7 recognition are 32-Clint Benedict and 50-Sylvio Mantha RC. Kingpins of the era, King Clancy (Pop-1 EX+ 5.5 with 1 higher) and Aurele Joliat (Pop-4 EX 5 with 2 higher) also are in the stellar lineup, along with Hall of Fame members Buck Boucher, Hooley Smith (RC), Alex Connell (RC), Frank Nighbor, Cy Denneny, Billy Burch, Shorty Green, Sprague Cleghorn, Reg Noble and Babe Dye, with Joe Ironstone and Sam Rothschild representing the Jewish faith. What a lineup indeed and what a coup it will be to secure these tantalizing prizes of the pre-war era which have earned the title of The Number One Finest Set of All-Time.
