Gorgeous high-grade example of this HOFer's 58 Topps offering. Flaman was a tough, stay-at-home defenseman with a solid physical presence. He played for several teams during his career, but his most significant impact was with the Bruins, where he played for over a decade (1949–1959) and was named Captain. He was known for his solid defensive play and he became a fan favorite in Boston for his gritty style. He also had a reputation for being an enforcer, leading the NHL in penalty minutes in 1955. He was 3-time 2nd Team All-Star, and finished in the top-5 Norris Trophy voting five times. He also won a Stanley Cup with Toronto in 1951, and another as an assistant coach with the Bruins in 1972. Graded a sharp 7.5 NM+ by major grader, SGC, and is 1 of 3, with only 2 graded higher.
