World Wide Gum’s unique and intriguing 1937-38 hockey card issue features NHL players and coaches, along with Senior players, with 22 representatives from the 135-set offered here in encapsulated form. Canada’s athlete extraordinaire Lionel Conacher and fellow icon King Clancy headline the lineup, with the former among a dozen graded EX 5 and the latter at GOOD 2. Condition leaders are Montreal Royals’ star 129-Pete Morin RC at NM 7 (two significant scratches to the PSA holder) and New York American 41-John Gallagher at EX-MT+ 6.5, while Boston Bruin legend 69-Cooney Weiland is among four slabbed EX-MT 6, the others being 44-MacKenzie, 45-G. Mantha and 124-Wiebe. There are a couple of EX+ 5.5s; 19-Wentworth and 90-Shibicky, with most notables joining Conacher at EX 5 being Hall of Famers 66-Carl Voss RC, 91-Neil Colville and 99-Jack Adams (MK). Most others are also known to hockey historians and vintage card enthusiasts; 15-Keeling, 47-Bruneteau RC, 55-Gottselig, 78-Lepine, 88-Murdoch and 89-M. Colville RC, with 106-Brennan RC (Quebec Aces) and 131-Bastien RC (Montreal Royals) also present. Completing the interesting offering is American-born goalie 123-Mike Karakas, graded VG-EX+ 4.5. The older PSA holders, in general, have been well cared for, with only the odd intermittent light scratch/scuff observed. Swell pre-war goodies await your vintage card shrine.
