Georges Vezina hockey cards are some of the most highly sought after of the pre-war era. The only goalie the Montreal Canadiens played from 1910-25, his career spanned 16 seasons. Vezina led them to the Stanley Cup two-times during his tenure. Vezina is the namesake of the NHL's annual award for the top goalie.
Vezina has one rookie card. It is found in the 1911-12 C55 set, which was made by the Imperial Tobacco Company.
Additional cards of Vezina that are popular with collectors include his 1912-13 C57 Imperial Tobacco and 1955-56 Parkhurst cards.
Vezina's inclusion in modern trading card products has been well received through the years. Some of these cards command a significant premium.
In 2000-01, Be A Player would produce the first game-used memorabilia cards of the legendary goalie. The company would later go on to produce one-of-one Cut Signature cards of Vezina as well. One of the first was in 2003-04 Be A Player Ultimate Memorabilia 4th Edition.
Georges Vezina's autographed memorabilia is so rare that it is nearly non-existent. When items do come on the auction block, they are typically signed documents.

Key Georges Vezina Cards
1911-12 C55 Georges Vezina RC #38
The C55 Hockey Set by Imperial Tobacco is one of the most revered pre-war hockey card sets in the pre-war era. Vezina is one of 45 cards in the set and is considered the key rookie card.
1912-13 C57 Georges Vezina #1
A follow up to Imperial Tobacco's previous release, the C57 set consists of 50 cards. Vezina's card can be very difficult to find in high-grade condition.
1955-56 Parkhurst Georges Vezina #56
The Parkhurst hockey sets of the 1950s are highly collectible. Despite being issued long after his playing days, it only seemed appropriate that one of the greatest goalies of all-time be paid homage within the set.
2000-01 Be A Player Memorabilia Georges Vezina #V-16
This is the first memorabilia card of Vezina. It feature a piece of his blocker padding. Upon its release, hockey collectors had mixed reactions. Some were happy to have the opportunity to own a piece of treasured history. Others thought it a sacrilege to cut up a museum quality artifact worthy of the Hall of Fame.
