Truly captivating is this superior card of legendary goaltender George Hainsworth as the beholder contemplates the image, the EX-MT 6 grade and Hainsworth's lengthy career. He had already played a decade of senior hockey before his three years with Saskatoon, before arriving, at age 31, in the NHL where he starred for another ten years! "Wow" is also muttered over the second-to-none-at-PSA grade of EX-MT 6, with the Pop-1 highest among the eight with a redemption stamp, (a VG-EX+ 4.5 is second), while eight VG-EX 4s are tops among the 25 unredeemed Hainsworth examples in PSA holders. Although the Paulin’s cards have always been catalogued as a 1923-24 issue, extensive research by hobby veteran and author Bobby Burrell actually points to a two-year promotion beginning a year later, thus giving a 1924-26 time frame for the cards which feature men who played for teams in the Western Canadian Hockey League.
