1971 O-Pee-Chee/OPC Baseball Cards

1971 OPC O-Pee-Chee baseball card front 1971 OPC O-Pee-Chee baseball card back 1971 Topps Steve Garvey 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.

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.

1959 Fleer Ted Williams baseball cards


1959 Fleer Ted Williams Box This special 80-card set from the Frank H. Fleer Company honors Ted Williams, "The Splendid Splinter." While other companies vied for Topps' exclusive player rights, Fleer successfully secured Ted Williams, who, nearing the end of his career, remained one of the best and most popular players.

"Teddy Ballgame" had a remarkable career, and the set captures many of his highlights, including his two Triple Crowns. He is still the last hitter to reach the .400 mark! Several popular cards feature Ted with other stars, including Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, football star Jim Thorpe, and golfer Sam Snead.

1959 Fleer Ted Williams Box Of particular note is Card #68, "Ted Signs for 1959," which pictures him signing his contract. The photo also included Red Sox GM Bucky Harris, who was under one of those exclusive deals with Topps at the time. This led to the card being pulled, making it extremely scarce. Unfortunately, reprints of the card surfaced in the 1970s. This is widely considered the first baseball card to be reprinted/counterfeited. Interestingly, the counterfeits were allowed to remain on the market, so caution is advised when dealing with this card.

1959 Fleer Ted Williams w/Ruth Cards were sold in both six-card and eight-card wax packs. For some reason, the scarcer 8-card packs contained no gum. 1959 Fleer Ted Williams w/Babe Ruth

Protecting and Storing your Card Collection

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.
