1971 O-Pee-Chee/OPC Baseball Cards
Also called OPC and Topps Canadian, most vintage OPC sets were
near replicas of their Topps brothers. Exact same design, the
major difference was the French & English backs.
OPC did make several changes to their 1971 set including a complete redesign of the card backs. OPC also changed over 20 cards including the first "Traded" cards and added more EXPOS cards to the set including #202 and #289. 1971 OPC's short prints are legendary, at only 5% of Topps' production, making this set very rare even in Canada. Some say 1971 OPC short print high numbers are even scarcer than the very, very scarce 1952 Topps highs where most ended up being dumped deep into the Atlantic ocean.

There are many different ways to protect, organize and store your sports cards.
Soft Sleeves also called "penny sleeves" are the most basic protection for your cards. Made of thin plastic, they come in packs of 100 and are very inexpensive.
Top Loads are rigid plastic holders and a step up in protection over "soft sleeves". Called top-loads because you place the card thru a thin opening at the top. They come in many sizes for regular cards upto 8-1/2 x 11 for magazines and even larger.
Screw-Down Acrylic Holders
These are sometimes used for better, more expensive cards. Small screws hold
two pieces of clear acrylic together. In a variety of sizes and thickness
that not only protect the card but can funciton as a paper weight or display
item.
There are also Single-Screw Screw-Downs that use only 1 screw to seal the holder. They are easier to use and provide the same type of protectionas regular screwdowns and they are also much less expensive costing as little as .30 in quantity while 1 inch or 2 inch acrylic screw-downs can cost upto several dollars.
