This is Nick Metz #144 from the 1937-38 O-Pee-Chee Series E (V304E) set, graded a strong PSA 6 EX-MT. The V304E series was O-Pee-Chee's final hockey issue of the decade — OPC wouldn't produce another hockey set for over 30 years — making it a landmark set for vintage hockey collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"18:1-18:406;708-1113\"\u003eThe design is pure 1930s charm: a black-and-white photo of Metz in his Maple Leafs sweater set inside a serrated blue art-deco frame, flanked by cartoon skaters and his facsimile autograph. The back carries his bilingual English\/French bio — a hallmark of O-Pee-Chee — describing the young Leaf as \"a fast, smooth skater, superior in passing and shooting to most older players... certainly a bright star.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"20:1-20:345;1115-1459\"\u003eThat scouting report proved right. Metz, from Wilcox, Saskatchewan, became a cornerstone two-way forward in Toronto for over a decade, winning FOUR Stanley Cups with the Maple Leafs (1942, 1945, 1947, and 1948), including the famous 1942 Finals comeback from three games down against Detroit — still the only 0-3 comeback in Cup Finals history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"22:1-22:18;1461-1478\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCard Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\" data-sourcepos=\"23:1-27:54;1479-1648\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"23:1-23:43;1479-1521\"\u003eSet: 1937-38 O-Pee-Chee Series E (V304E)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:24;1522-1545\"\u003eCard: #144, Nick Metz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:28;1546-1573\"\u003eTeam: Toronto Maple Leafs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"26:1-26:21;1574-1594\"\u003eGrade: PSA 6 EX-MT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"27:1-27:54;1595-1648\"\u003eCert Number: 16304113 (verifiable on PSA's website)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"29:1-29:292;1650-1941\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professionally graded PSA 6 EX-MT and encapsulated in a tamper-evident PSA holder — a strong grade for a nearly 90-year-old candy issue, with great contrast and a clean, well-centered look.
