From the dawning of a professional career that would lead to the nickname of "The Babe Ruth of Hockey" and recognition as the most outstanding hockey player of the first half of the 20th century comes this stirring, desirable rookie card of the incomparable Howie Morenz. The Canadiens speedster's one and only rookie card was originally packaged with a chocolate bar manufactured by the William Paterson firm of Brantford, Ontario and called Paterson's Hockey League Bar. Morenz was indeed a rookie that season and helped the Canadiens to the Stanley Cup! Blank-backed card has been examined and encapsulated by SGC which deems it EX 5. Of the 40 total Morenz RCs graded by SGC and PSA, just three PSA 6s edge this example, one of five EX 5s at SGC, with seven on the PSA charts. We/you'll never tire of admiring Howie's rookie!
