I figured that the 1922 date was off, just like the Maple Crispette. Hockey usually came first in Canada...

Because the Bert Corbeau is so scarce, now were talking super scarce and 15 grand for that card is reasonable. The wrapper is worth at least 5 grand.

The first hockey issue of Paterson 1923-24 had 40 cards.
Paterson's second issue of hockey was in 1924-25 went to 60 cards.
My feeling on this issue is that there were alot of complaints by customers that the Corbeau couldn't be had and with this Paterson changed the program and just added more cards to the set to compensate for the lack of the chase card. Plus the cards were narrower, so a sheet of 40 turned into a sheet of 60, no doubt.
