The 1940s hockey cards suffered a period of regression. While O-Pee-Chee emerged as a good option for collectors in the 1930s, the brand would only make 1940-41 O-Pee-Chee before a nearly 30-year hiatus. Several small brands would be the only option for collectors and the industry suffered. In general, the values for 1940-1949 hockey card sets are not strong.
There are only a few popular hockey rookie cards from the 1940s. Milt Schmidt and Max Bentley are among the top options.
