This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/21/2008
One of the most valuable hockey cards ever produced, this 1911-12 Georges Vezina rookie card produced by Imperial Tobacco is extremely difficult to find in nice condition. Sportscard Guaranty has rated this incredibly rare Vezina rookie card 3-VG. Nicknamed the Chicoutimi Cucumber because of his cool demeanor in goal, Vezina had just begun his Hall of Fame career with the fledgling Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey Association when this card was issued. He would lead the Canadiens to their first Stanley Cup in 1916 and become an inaugural member of the NHL one year later, remaining with the team through its second Cup in 1924 before tragically falling victim to tuberculosis after he collapsed in the crease during the 1925 season opener. Good luck in your quest as you bid to be the lucky one to add this sensational card to your collection.
