An original member of the fabled Montreal Canadiens when the legendary franchise began play a century ago, Arthur "Art" Bernier is pictured here on card #37 of the highly-desirable postcard set entitled "Prominent Canadian Hockey Players," and distributed by Imperial Tobacco of Canada. The historic Sweet Cap set was reportedly used by the artists working on the C55 card set released the following season. Bernier scored 12 goals in 12 games in the Habs’ initial 1909-10 National Hockey Association season. Swell image includes the thick turtleneck wool sweater required back in the day, with the postcard having been graded Good 2 by PSA. Only one other Bernier Sweet Cap postcard has ever been graded higher by the company.
