1924-25 V130 Maple Crispette Overview

The 1924-25 V130 Maple Crispette is a smaller, rare Canadian issue of hockey cards. The set contains only 30 cards and includes black and white pictures of players on the front along with their name and a card number.

Some of the cards included a player’s full name but many only listed a last name as well as his team.

The backs displayed a drawing of a skate blade and informed collectors that they could exchange a complete set of the cards for a pair of skates by sending them in to the company. As usual, there was a catch as card No. 15 Sprague Cleghorn, was shortprinted to likely help reduce the number of redemptions that would need to be made.

Interesting, the 1923 Maple Crispette baseball cards also offered a special promotion. Theirs, however, mentioned that collectors could complete the offer by sending in all 30 card numbers, regardless of if they were baseball or hockey players. Card No. 15 in the baseball set was Casey Stengel and his card was shortprinted. Those looking for a break with the hockey cards found no such luck with the shortprinted Cleghorn. There can be absolutely zero doubt what the company did here in purposefully shortprinting No. 15 in both sets.

And, of course, the shortprinting makes completing the set nearly impossible.
