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.

Baseball card collecting terms (part D-F)
Die-Cut A special card that differs from a basic card by
"Die-Cutting", cutting away portions of the card to create a special design.
Most are serially numbered & limited.
Error Card Baseball card history is filled with error cards,
many of them very interesting. Hank Aaron is on 2 of my favorite error cards.
Aaron's 1956 Topps card action photo shows Aaron sliding home but
it is actually Willie Mays not Aaron. Topps again goofed on Aaron's 1957
"reversed negative" card showing Aaron batting left-handed.
"Error Cards" are usually found early in print runs and often corrected.
When this correction happens a VARIATION is created.
Some variations are extremely interesting and very expensive while others
are totally boring and you wonder why they were even made.
Extended Set Also frequently called Update Set or
Traded Set.
They are sets issued after the original release to update the regular set
with new and traded players.
Facsimile Autograph is an autograph printed on a card to show
what the player's actual signature looks like. They are not "real" autographs.
Factory Set are complete sets usually in special boxes
produced by the manufacturer. "Hand-Collated Sets" are sets collectors
have put together card by card from packs.
