1972 O-Pee-Chee 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.
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.

High Numbers - vintage cards were issued in the ‘50s-‘70s in a series. During the baseball season, the largest number of cards were made. As the schedule progressed into September, when there would be less interest in baseball cards , Topps for one, specifically decreased production and hence much less product was available. As a result, a scarcity-factor was created and a premium holds for these first type of "short-printed" cards.
Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.
O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.
Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.
Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.
Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.
Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
