Historical Hockey Memorabilia Spring 2012
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/12/2012
A view of the Montreal Canadiens’ first sweater and the club’s first goaltender are offered with this example of card #16 from Imperial Tobacco’s coveted C56 issue. Joe Cattarinich did not last long in front of Montreal’s goal though, recommending the team sign Georges Vezina and offering to step aside after the latter so impressed Cattarinich in a Montreal-Chicoutimi exhibition game! Attractive card has been encapsulated by PSA and joins ten others at VG-EX 4, with 20 similar examples having been slabbed higher by PSA, 13 of those coming in at EX 5. Cattarinich was elected to the Hall of Fame as a “builder” in 1977.
