Like other legendary collections that were groundbreaking in their respective sports, namely the T206 white border baseball set or the 1935 National Chicle football addition, many players were introduced in real time that went on to become immortals within the sport. Art Ross is one of those players, from the world of hockey. Considered the Clark Griffith of the ice rink, Ross was a superstar defenseman who pioneered the concept of skating the puck forward rather than passing it, a legendary coach who skippered the Boston Bruins to two Stanley Cup championships, and a general manager who helped the Bruins finish in first place ten times. The featured card is the grand prize of the amazing set-break that highlights this auction, a PSA 7 specimen that is matched by 3 others with none graded higher. Offering a supremely sharp, above-grade perimeter and a deeply pigmented central image, only the askew centering keeps this card from breaking the tie and moving into grading territory yet to be explored for the issue. For any high-grade collector, especially those looking to increase their standing on the PSA Set Registry, this is a piece to aggressively pursue.
