Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022

An intriguing life in hockey and an intriguing card are to tell you about here, with Owen Sound, Ontario native Clarence "Happy" Day described on the back of this English Only World Wide Gum card as one of the best defence players in the league. Captaining the Maple Leafs for more than a decade, Day later coached Toronto to five Stanley Cup championships, (including a then NHL record three in a row), reportedly garnering the respect of his players in part for skating hard and taking part in all practice drills and leading them in running. As for this version of card #10 with only English text on the back, it does not show up on the PSA Population Report as such, having been encapsulated before the differences were noted/recorded. The top English Only example (out of the six on record) is an EX 5, while 14 are superior to EX-MT 6 on the "other" line, if you follow. Light wear at the corners and a small blemish on the upper back are to note, along with scratches/scuffs to the front of the PSA holder. We believe you will indeed be happy when this relic arrives.
