1957-58 Topps Hockey Set Marked Company’s Return to NHL Cards

May 29, 2017 By Rich Mueller

The 1957-58 Topps hockey set marked the company’s return to the sport after a two-year break that followed the 1954-55 debut set.  Topps must have felt pretty optimistic about the sports bubble gum business at the time, because it also produced its first basketball card set that winter.

1957-58 Topps Hockey Basics

The  set consists of 66 cards representing only players from the four U.S.-based teams in the National Hockey League—the Chicago Blackhawks, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings.  Measuring the newly standard 2-1/2″ by 3-1/2″, the cards were sold in packs of four cards.

Design

The cards were fairly colorful with both posed action shots and portraits set against red, blue or yellow backgrounds. At the bottom was the player’s his name in a nice-looking italic font, position, team name and even a team logo.

The backs were printed horizontally and offered text in both English and French against red and blue backdrops.  There was a single line of stats from the 1956-57 season and a large cartoon quiz on the right side.

Rookie Cards and Major Stars

There were four notable rookie cards in the set:  Johnny Bucyk (#10), Glenn Hall (#20), Pierre Pilote (#22) and Norm Ullman (#46).  The biggest stars on the checklist included Ted Lindsay (#21), Terry Sawchuck, whose name was misspelled with an extra c (#35), Gordie Howe (#42) and Gump Worsley (#53).

The 1957-58 Topps set is not difficult to put together and the cost of most cards is generally pretty reasonable.  Even a very nice-looking EX example of the Howe often runs less than $200.

The Sawchuk and Hall rookies are also popular with collectors. Centering, as usual during the era, is often the biggest condition challenge. 

Complete sets vary in price depending on condition.  Goldin Auctions sold a fairly high quality set for just over $1,600 in 2016.
