In just his second season as a Montreal Canadien after being discovered in Chicoutimi, Quebec was Georges Vezina when he appeared on coveted cards like this. The legendary goaltender remarkably never missed a regular season or playoff game from the time he joined the Habs until he became ill during the season opener in 1925-26, a 15-year run that totaled 325 games! Vezina recorded the first shutout in NHL history and was the first netminder to be awarded an assist. He backstopped the Canadiens to Stanley Cup triumphs in 1915-16 and 1923-24. Among the most sought rookie cards in the hobby is the Vezina RC, with the offered example examined by PSA some years ago and given a VG 3 assessment. Slight rounding of the corners is a little more evident at the bottom left, with obvious less-than-perfect centering also observed but no apparent creases. The encapsulated relic is stirring to hold and behold while contemplating the life and career of a hockey icon whose name lives on with the Vezina Trophy. An absolute prerequisite to a big-time tobacco/RC collection awaits yours, with just a couple of small light subtle scratches to the front of the PSA holder to note.
