Ridiculous Cards - Fred Shero

I recently won a 1974-75 Topps hockey lot on eBay. I've never owned any of these and wanted to get a start on the set. I kind of like the cheesy design and the photography is horrendous. I'm going to show a few of what I think are the funniest cards from the lot, starting with this Fred Shero.

Shero was actually a great coach who led the Philadelphia Flyers to two straight Stanley Cup championships in the mid-70s, and is the winningest coach in Flyers history, yet all I could do was snicker when I came across this card in the stack. Fred passed away of stomach cancer in 1990, and his son Ray is the current GM for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
