One of many new releases to emerge in the early-1930s, the Hamilton Chewing Gum company’s 1933-34 V288 hockey card set rings in with a checklist that includes a total of 21 cards and features some of the era’s key players. Offered here in complete set form, this assembly of the desirable release, displaying both French and English bios on their reverses as well as “Puck Gum”, is spearheaded by freshy graded PSA examples of HOFers Howie Morenz (PSA GOOD+ 2.5), King Clancy (PSA GOOD+ 2.5), Aurel Joliat (PSA GOOD 2) and the rookie card of Charlie Conacher (PSA GOOD 2). Made up entirely of blue (aqua) background variation offerings (other colours including yellow, green and orange were also produced), the rest of the set, remaining in raw ungraded form, is paced by two cards in the VG-EX condition range that picture Andy Blair and HOFer Red Horner over their fronts while being followed behind by VG range cards that include Bill Thomas, HOFer Sylvia Mantha, HOFer Busher Jackson, Ebbie Goodfellow and Larry Aurie. Continuting on, cards of Nick Wasnie, HOFer Marty Burke, Pit Lepine, Lorne Chabot, Alexander Levinsky and Harold Cotton are viewed as being in the neighbourhood of GOOD while FR condition range cardboard is found for HOFer Joe Primeau, Wildor Larochelle, HOFer Hap Day and an extra copy of card #23 picturing Pit Lepine over the front. Lastly, the set’s final card is found via an example of card #11 that pictures Ace Bailey over the front and is seen as being in the scope of “Authentic” due to issues such as paper loss at the bottom left corner.
