One of the most difficult positions in all of sports with those that dare play it regarded as both fearless and a bit kooky, up for grabs here is this collection of eight (8) mid-to-late-1920s Willard, Champ's, Crescent and Paulin's hockey cards featuring goalies of the era. Including both graded and raw specimens, the group is paced by a PSA NM 7 copy of Vernon Forbes' 1924 Champ's Cigarettes C144 card that is a Pop-4 highest graded according their population report while the quartet of other PSA slabs house examples Errol Gillis (1924 Crescent Selkirks - PSA VG-EX 4), Ernie Collett (1924 Willard Chocolate V122 - RC - PSA VG 3), Calgary Jimmies (1928 Paulin's Candy V128 - PSA GOOD 2) and Fred Comfort (1924 Crescent Selkirks - PSA FR 1.5). Also including a pair of KSA graded offerings in the form of 1928 Paulin's Candy V128 cards of F. Porteous and W. Brooks that have both been assessed grades of VG 3, the final card included comes in the form of a 1924 Champ's Cigarettes C144 example of Norman Fowler that in PR condition with numerous heavy creases as well as corner and edge wear.
It must be noted that the grading standards followed by KSA may not correspond to those currently employed by PSA, BGS or SGC. The outcome of an attempted cross-over of this piece through any of those services, then, would be uncertain and cannot be guaranteed.
