Desirable Imperial Tobacco treasures here have been encapsulated by PSA and are mostly in the VG-EX 4 to EX-MT 6 range. An exception is the condition leader, with Bert Lindsay’s rookie card earning EX-MT+ 6.5 recognition. Although key rookie cards of Georges Vezina and Joe Malone are not present, along with cards of Cyclone Taylor and Art Ross, that depicting superstar Newsy Lalonde in his Canadiens turtleneck sweater leads an almost all-Hall of Fame group of seven in EX-MT 6 holders. Others are 6- Tom Dunderdale, 11-Marty Walsh, 25-Odie Cleghorn RC, 28-Ernie Johnson, 35-Ernie Russell and 36-Jimmy Gardner RC. At EX+ 5.5 is 9-Fred Lake, while (14) are slabbed EX 5; #s 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 19, 22, 27-Smaill (Right Hand on Stick), 30-Hyland, 33-Roberts, 34, 40, 44 and 45-Laviolette. Joe Hall’s rookie and the other Smaill variation (Right Hand on Hip), are among a half dozen at VG-EX+ 4.5, with further details, which include one KSA-graded card, available on our website. Numerous possibilities and opportunities are offered with these fascinating hobby favorites, sure to tempt serious tobacco card enthusiasts.
The others at 4.5 are #s 12, 13, 37 and 43, while graded VG 4 are HOFers 15-Stuart, 17-Darragh RC, 29-Marshall and 32-Hern, along with 3, 23 and 39. Skein Ronan (#26) just missed being in the latter group at VG+ 3.5, while the first card, featuring legendary Quebec Bulldogs’ goalie Paddy Moran sits in an early KSA holder labeled “7-NM”. Also are to be aware of are two cards which look to have stains (moisture?) which were not present when the cards were originally encapsulated by PSA; 18-Steve Vair (VG-EX 4) and 41-Didier Pitre (EX-MT 6). Other than the aforementioned four, the cards required for completion are 16-Percy LeSueur and 24-Sprague Cleghorn RC.
