OLD Hockey Cards... Need Some Help!

[Big Bone]

I've got some turn of the century hockey cards that my late Grandma left me a few years ago and was wondering if someone can help me figure these out? The shots I took kinda got messed up with the flash. They really don't have a glossy look.

Here's what I've got-

Lester Patrick of Renfrew Club 1910-1911




J. Jones of Cobalt Club 1910




C. Toms of Cobalt Club 1909




Herb. Clark of Cobalt Club 1910




Art Ross of Haley Bury Club 1910




G. Roberts of Ottawa Club 1910




Any help with these would be very appreciated, thank you.

They appear to be from the c56 set 1910-1911 imperial tobacco.

However, the Art Ross escapes me as it does not seem to be the regular c56 issue. Someone more knowledgeable will have to help with this question.

the Art Ross looks to be #12 from that set.. you can kind of read the # on the top left of the front. He had 2 cards in that same set.

Wow thats amazing! I had no idea what these were worth... now what to do with them? Is there some kind of price guild for these so I can find it's overall value or are these cards so obscure such a thing does not exists?

Thanks so far guys!

As far as price goes, it hard to say. I do have a evaluation on the set grading as Excellent of 8,000 for all the set (36 cards). But that estimate is worth what it worth since it one of the earlyest set ever produce. Also SP can really change things. Not sure that too many person try to collect them either.

This was the first ever set of multiple cards for hockey but something older do exist and it's only one postcard:
