1910-11 C56 Imperial Tobacco Hockey Complete Graded Set (36) - Art Ross, Cyclone Taylor & Newsy Lalonde

Offered here is a complete 36-card 1910-11 C56 Imperial Tobacco Hockey set, with every card professionally encapsulated and featuring many of the most important players from the formative years of professional hockey.

Produced more than a century ago, the C56 issue is recognized as one of the earliest major hockey card sets and a cornerstone of pre-war hockey collecting. The 36-card checklist features players from the National Hockey Association era, the immediate predecessor to the NHL, and includes a remarkable concentration of early Hockey Hall of Famers.

Among the key cards are Art Ross #8 and #12, Cyclone Taylor #15, Newsy Lalonde #36, Frank Patrick #1, Lester Patrick #26, Jack Laviolette #21, Didier Pitre #23 and Bruce Stuart #17. PSA recognizes many of the set's leading cards, including Ross, Taylor, Lalonde and both Patrick brothers, as rookie cards.

All 36 cards have been professionally encapsulated by PSA, SGC or KSA. The set presents with an approximate average numerical grade of 1.18. The Art Ross #8 and Cyclone Taylor #15 are authenticated as altered rather than receiving numerical grades.

Condition
