Bad Hockey Card of the Day


The airbrushing in this 1970s hockey card is almost a masterpiece by 1970s standards. But my question is why? Jacques Lemaire never was traded to the Sabres, never played for the Sabres, and, as best as I can tell, was never rumored to be joining the Sabres at all!

I seem to recall the story behind this was that forward Jacques Richard had been traded from Atlanta to Buffalo, but the card company mistook Richard for Habs' centre Jacques Lemaire.
