The 1920s marked the transition from tobacco cards, candy, and food promo issues. Popular sets included William Patterson V145, Paulin's Candy, Maple Crispette, and the legendary 1926 Anonymous Issue. Card designs from the decade often featured elegant black-and-white photography or finely detailed illustrations, accented by simple borders and understated typography that reflected the style of the pre-war era. Goalie rookie cards from this period remain highly sought after because of their connection to the NHL's formative years. Notable rookie cards include George Hainsworth, Joe Ironstone, and the ultra-rare Hugh Lehman from the 1926 Anonymous Issue. Issued without a manufacturer's name or branding, 1926 Anonymous Issue cards are the rarest and most mysterious hockey card sets ever produced, making every surviving example a prized piece for advanced vintage and goalie card collector.
