Newest Pre-war HOF RC for the PC

[gomaz]

I'm sitting at the gate waiting to board the plane back to Calgary from the National in Chicago and as I have some time to kill I figured I'd show off one of my pickups from the show.

I bought his on the Saturday even though I wasn't going to make any other big purchases after a major one on Friday (that I'll show in the baseball section later this week) but then I happened to spot this little beauty at a very reputable dealer's table for a price I really couldn't argue with, although I did grind him a little :laugh:

Here it is - from 1923 - George Hainsworth Paulins Candy Redeemed with only one graded higher!





Thanks for the look!

I added scans of both sides so you can see the redemption stamp, which I love about the card! This card had to travel.

Thanks fellas. Now that I'm back home and going through my cards, I really can't take my eyes off this one.

I was pumped Al!! It's a card I've been after for awhile.

How was the show for hockey?

I've been to 7 of the last 8 Nationals and this was the lightest for modern hockey of all of them. I had four showcases full and my estimate is that there were enough modern hockey cards there to fill up 12, including mine. That's it. Vintage was probably even less. I hope next year in Atlantic City it'll be different. More NHL teams nearby may help a little.

WOW! That's incredible! Very cool to see an old PCHA card. Feel free to bring it to Expo to show it off!

Don't mind if I do :beer:

Great card Sir! Looking for one myself as I pc rc cards of vintage Habs, especially goalies. Any explanation as to why Hainsworth rc is V304A in 1933? Thanks!

Some people consider Paulin's Candy to be a regional issue (not distributed widely enough to be a rookie card).

Both cards are beautiful and worth obtaining.

 

[nickgam]

Thanks for the info and yes I agree!

Love that 1923 Paulin's set! One of my all-time faves. Great pick up, and a sweet looking card, regardless of the grade. The fact it does grade 5 with only one ever graded higher just is the icing on the cake really. Thanks for the share!
