Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction November 2010

Among the most coveted and sought treasures in our wonderful hobby are the elusive 100-year old postcards that were printed in Britain and apparently distributed in 50-count tins of Sweet Caporal cigarettes. Leading off our consignor’s terrific ensemble of Sweet Caps is Ed Oatman of the Quebec Bulldogs, a member of Quebec's Stanley Cup-winning team in 1911-12. Splendid crease-free example of card #5 has but edge/corner wear and has been graded VG-EX+ 4.5 by PSA. The company has only ever graded one other Oatman postcard (5.5), a fine indication of the rarity of these postcards. Every serious pre-war collector should own at least one Sweet Cap postcard!
