1910 C56 Hockey Cards
Product Details
1910 C56 Hockey Series got the tobacco era underway for the sport. Collectors can find several top rookies from the game's history.
The first major set of hockey cards was issued along with cigarettes and predated the NHL, featuring players from the National Hockey Association. This league directly preceded the NHL from 1909 through 1917. During the NHA's second season in 1910-11, the C56 cards appeared and offered a glimpse into what was still an evolving game.
1910 Imperial Tobacco C56 Hockey Set Details
1910 C56 Hockey cards contain a lithographed player picture with a white border. The player's last name and team appear in the border area below the picture, while the card number is shown in the top corner. Backs feature a "Hockey Series" design with two crossed hockey sticks and a puck, followed by the player's name, team and a history of his past teams.
Although there is no advertisement on the cards, the issuer is considered to be Imperial Tobacco. There are 37 cards in the complete set, which is believed to be more limited than the C55 product.
The top cards in 1910 C56 Hockey include Edward "Newsy" LaLonde and Art Ross, both of whom have two cards in the set.
