Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Released as a follow up to the previous year’s C56 set, 1911-12 Imperial Tobacco C55 hockey card set is arguably the most lavishly illustrated and aesthetically pleasing cigarette cards set ever produced for any sport. Up for grabs here, we present this group of fifteen (15) cards that hail from the all-important 1911-12 C55 Imperial Tobacco release. Once all pasted into a scrapbook many moons ago and removed from it after many years, eight (8) of the cards were cut-out of the book as "singles" while the remaining six (6) cards are all still stuck to the page they were originally affixed to. Starting with the cards presenting as singles, included are the likes of 10-Kerr RC (VG to VG-EX - corner wear/scuff), 11-Walsh (FR to G - crease up the middle), 12-Shore RC (PR - large creases), 17-Darragh RC (GOOD - small scuff at the top right), 20-Taylor (GOOD - top right corner and bottom border damage), 24-S. Cleghorn RC (VG to VG-EX - small ding at the right border), 38-Vezina RC (VG to VG-EX - light corner wear and a scuff at the bottom left), 40-Power RC (PR to F - stained and creased) and 44-Poulin RC (GOOD - light crease at bottom right). Of note, the grades listed for the eight (8) cards have been done so without taking into consideration the fact that they were all removed from a scrapbook and have a piece of paper glued on their upper backs and are not actual card grades but rather an indication of the condition of the cards themselves. For the remaining six (6) cards, featuring a trio of Montreal Wanderers and Quebec Bulldogs, included are the likes of 2-Hall RC (GOOD - some glue viewed at the top border), 4-Malone RC (VG to VG-EX - light corner wear and off-center), 7-Mallen RC (GOOD - scuff at the bottom right corner), 31-Ross (VG to VG-EX - light corner wear), 33-Roberts (EX to EX-MT) and 35-Russell (GOOD - corner scuffs and water mark). An overall excellent start to your own 1911-12 C55 release that includes a strong amount of key star power, don't miss out on these for your all-important vintage collection!
