The 1957-58 Topps set consists of 66 vintage hockey cards. The Glenn Hall (Chicago Blackhawks) rookie card heads the rookie class in importance and value. The RC’s of Johnny Bucyk (Boston Bruins), Norm Ullman (Detroit Red Wings) and Pierre Pilote (Chicago Blackhawks) are also of great relevance. Other important hockey cards in the collection include Gordie Howe (Detroit Red Wings), Terry Sawchuk (Detroit Red Wings) and Gump Worsley (New York Rangers).
As with the other early years with Topps and Parkhurst sharing the National Hockey League, Topps featured players from the Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Black Hawks and New York Rangers. Parkhurst covered the Canadian teams in the league, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens.

1957-58 NHL Season
1957-58 saw Dickie Moore of the Montreal Canadiens take his first of two consecutive Art Ross Trophy wins. Moore finished with 84 points, four more than teammate Henri Richard. The following year, Dickie would up the ante with an at the time record of 96 points.
The performance got Moore a First Team All-Star selection but he was denied the Hart Trophy. Instead, that award went to Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings. In fact, Dickie was a lowly eighth in the voting for the MVP award.
The Montreal Canadiens dominated the regular season with 43 wins and 96 points, 19 points ahead of the second place New York Rangers. In a rarity, the Toronto Maple Leafs finished in last place and out of post season contention.
The Habs marched to their third consecutive Stanley Cup championship in what would be a string of five straight. After a first round sweep of the Detroit Red Wings, it took six games to eliminate the Boston Bruins in the final.
In the days before the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP, the award most likely would have gone to Maurice Richard. The Rocket scored eleven goals in ten playoff games for the Canadiens while also adding four assists for 15 points to lead the champions.
Jacques Plante would have been another candidate. Playing all ten games for Montreal, Plante posted a 1.94 goals against average with a single shutout (game 3 against Boston in the final series). Jacques did capture some hardware in 1957-58, taking home the Vezina Trophy. He was also a Second Team All-Star with Glenn Hall of the Blackhawks taking First Team honours.
