My 13th card for the 1957-58 Topps Hockey set that I am building.
Unlike the Fern Flaman card I also got recently, this Al Arbour card is not in the greatest shape. It has some creases and wear–“character,” you could say. Much like Arbour himself.
This only cost $5, so I don’t feel too bad about getting such an imperfect card.
Set completion as of 12-2-2010:
13 out of 66 cards = 19.7%
13 out of 66 cards = 19.7%

Hey, he's a defenseman, he's supposed to be rough around the edges. I can't believe he wore glasses on the ice. I never thought about that before.
Yeah, glasses. Seems crazy to wear those in a game, even in the 1950s.
I did a short write-up about that fact a few years back. You might find it interesting…
