1972 O-Pee-Chee Baseball Cards

1972 OPC O-Pee-Chee baseball card back 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. 1972 OPC #465 Gil Hodges Cards differed from their Topps versions mostly due to "Made in Canada", French/English and different colored backs. Of note: Card #465 (Gil Hodges) differs from the Topps version with the addition 'Deceased April 2,1972" to the card front. Card stock differs but O-Pee-Chee cards can be identified even easier by O.P.C. in the copyright line rather than T.C.G.

TOP ROOKIE: Carlton Fisk is the only rookie of note.
TOP STARS:   Nolan Ryan, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Ted Williams, Thurman Munson, Reggie Jackson...

All-Star card (AS) usually a subset card picturing a player who participated in the previous season’s all-star game. Topps created these in their 1958 High Number issue and has continued the practice fairly regularly to date. Such cards are usually designated in price guides with the abbreviation of AS.

Assorted A general mix of cards often containing many duplicates.

Auction items are sold to the highest bidder. Auctions used to be live or thru the mail/phone but today most auctions are online.
