1965 O-Pee-Chee/OPC
Baseball Cards

O-Pee-Chee issued their first baseball card set way back in 1937. It was so much fun they waited almost 30 years before they did it again in 1965, their first year of partnering with Topps to issue baseball cards for the Canadian market.
1965 OPC cards, like the following years, mimicked Topps' issue. In 1965 Topps came in with (598) cards, OPC only issued the first series of (283). 1965 O-Pee-Chee baseball cards can be distinguished by the grey card stock and "Printed in Canada" on back. There were no major errors or variations in 1965.
1965 OPC baseball cards could be considered rare with grading companies reporting the graded population of OPC at less than 2 percent of Topps.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 1)

The first baseball trading cards date back to 1869. For many years, baseball cards were packaged in packs of tobacco as a way to increase sales the same way that today prizes are packaged in boxes of cereal. In the 1920's and 1930's, candy and gum companies started packaging baseball cards in their products as well.

Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.

The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
