The legend of one of the premier pre-NHL scoring sensations is brought forth with this captivating image of Joe Malone, the Quebec Bulldogs’ center leading his team to the Stanley Cup at the end of the same season that this treasure was originally discovered in a pack of smokes. Graded EX+ 5.5 by PSA, this (Pop-5) Malone rookie card is bettered on the company’s Population Report by just 15 of the 115 examples of card #4 to have been examined and encapsulated by the firm since its inception. “Phantom Joe” rifled 43 goals in 20 NHA games in 1912-13 as Quebec defended its Cup title and was still scoring when the NHL was formed five years later, tallying a record 44 in 20 games with the Canadiens. Holy smokes!
Tempting card features near-perfect centering and a clean, rather nice white back.
