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.

Jeff Bagwell Baseball Cards

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.
