Finally picked up a Bill Cook rookie card (actually pre-NHL rookie, but was a pro already). Only 40 total graded by PSA from the Paulins Candy set. Cook is fascinating, famous for his HOF career with the Rangers, two Cups, three first team allstars, two runners up for mvp. He started with the Rangers at 30(!) years old. He might be an alltime great if the NHL started a few years earlier. His next card appearance after this 1923 card is several in 1933.

Prewar hockey remains on fire, lots of interesting cards and printed way fewer than prewar baseball. Registry chasers have greatly pushed prices up across the board.
