Future Montreal Canadiens legend Jean Beliveau was the toast of Quebec City when this set of 20 postcards was issued by the hometown Citadelles for the 1949-50 season. Le Gros Bill's facsimile signature appears in the bottom left corner of his 6" x 4" postcard in the set featuring Beliveau with an alternate captain's "A" in a shield on the left breast of his Citadelles sweater. Camille Henry, Marcel Paille, Bruce Cline and Gordie Haworth are among Beliveau's Citadelles teammates who also went on to play in the NHL. Beliveau's card remains in excellent-plus condition, with some blue ink bled onto the blank reverse. All but three of the other cards are in similar excellent condition, while stains are to note on Guy Gervais, Haworth and coach Bergeron cards.
