Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction December 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/13/2022
A fabulous opportunity to score a coveted pre-war hockey card set is offered here, with the charming little cards found almost a century ago in sweets produced by Maple Crispette, a Montreal confectioner. Kids/collectors could exchange a 30-card set for a pair of new skates, with Sprague Cleghorn’s card short-printed to limit the amount of contest redemptions and thus considered rare. Montreal Canadiens’ legends Howie Morenz, Georges Vezina and Aurele Joliat had led the Habs to the Stanley Cup the previous season and highlight the lineup here in encapsulated form, their images a treat to view, with the raw roster also low grade (mostly P and F) due to multiple creases. Other Hall of Famers present are 2-Clint Benedict, 18-Punch Broadbent, 21-Billy Burch, 22-Shorty Green and 27-Newsy Lalonde, with 19-Sammy Rothschild RC also involved. First-year Boston Bruins and Montreal Maroons, along with players from the Hamilton Tigers (in the Tigers’ last season) also contribute to the intriguing issue, with this ensemble poised to enhance your pre-war card shrine.
