Labeled as the “Ice Kings” on the reverse of every card, World Wide Gum’s 1933-34 V357 set rings true to its claim as 22 of the players depicted in the 72-card checklist would go on to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame after the conclusions of their careers. Offered here, is this group of nine (9) 1933-34 World Wide Gum Ice Kings V357 cards. Featuring a total seven (7) cards that have been graded by PSA and KSA, the group includes "Bilingual" English and French variations of Tiny Thompson (RC - PSA EX 5) and Roy Worters (RC - KSA GOOD 2) while an ungraded copy of John Roach's single language card is in the condition vicinity of VG-EX with light wear to corners, a dent on right edge and small stains. For the English only offerings, A copy of Dave Kerr's rookie card, housed in a now vintage style PSA holder, displays a mark of NM-MT 8 with an "OC" qualifier. Despite not showing up on the company's population report, the card would be the highest-graded English only offering today. Also including a second copy of the Kerr rookie that is slabbed as an EX 5, other "English Only" cards include those of netminders like Roy Worters (RC - PSA VG 3), Lorne Chabot (RC - PSA FR 1.5 w/ "MK" qualifier) and John Roach (PSA PR 1) while a second copy of Tiny Thompson's rookie card is present, this one raw and ungraded and likely to earn a low-grade mark due to things such as light wear to corners and clear glue residues throughout the back despite its nice visual appeal. ADDENDUM - An error in the title listing the Worthers RC's as PSA 5 and KSA 2 has been changed to reflect the actual grades of the two cards included, being a PSA 3 and a KSA 2 as seen in the photos
