Graded NM-MT+ 8.5 by SGC. Qualities include four Mint corners, good color & image quality, a pack-fresh appearance, untoned borders, and a vibrantly white reverse side. Very close to an SGC 9. Virtually flawless! This is the hobby's top-graded example and the only C55 Hyland to be graded higher than NM-MT. Harry Hyland is featured here on his second-year tobacco card with the Montreal Wanderers. In seven seasons in the NHA, Hyland scored 144 goals in only 117 games. Captured a Stanley Cup with Montreal in 1910 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1962. One of the leading stars in the early years of professional hockey. Also, the great, great, great-grandfather of Sidney Crosby.
