(LOT 784)
1910 C56 #12 Art Ross PSA 4.5 VG-EX+

ROOKIE HOF!!! This card of Art Ross is offered in a POP 3 PSA 4.5 holder. Art Ross was a Canadian professional ice hockey player and executive from 1905 until 1954. Regarded as one of the best defenders of his era by his peers, he was one of the first to skate with the puck up the ice rather than pass it to a forward. He was on Stanley Cup championship teams twice in a playing career that lasted thirteen seasons. In 1911 he led one of the first organized player strikes over increased pay.

When the Wanderers' home arena burned down in January 1918, the team ceased operations and Ross retired as a player. He created a style of hockey puck still used today, and advocated an improved style of goal nets, a change that lasted forty years. In 1947 Ross donated the Art Ross Trophy, awarded to the leading scorer of the NHL regular season. Ross was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1949. Offered here is a 1920 C56 card of Art Ross in a strong PSA 4.5 holder. Add this low pop 110 year old card of Hall of Famer, Art Ross to your high end Hockey collection.
