1971 O-Pee-Chee/OPC Baseball Cards
O-Pee-Chee is also called OPC and Topps Canadian.
Most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of their Topps brothers
in the exact same design, with the major difference being the
French & English backs. But in 1971, O-Pee-Chee made
several changes to their set including a complete redesign of
the card backs. OPC also changed over 20 cards including the
creation of the first "Traded" cards along with adding more EXPOS
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, that mostly ended up being dumped deep into the Atlantic ocean.
The Semi-High #'s 524-643 are VERY, VERY costly on eBay and
elsewhere on the internet and the High #'s are INSANE !!!
ROOKIES included Hall-of-Famer Bert Blyleven,
Steve Garvey, Davey Concepcion, Bobby Valentine,
George Foster, Dusty Baker...

Series are groups of cards in an issue released together. Example: Series #1 (cards #1-100) are released in April; Series #2 (#101-200) released in July; and so on. This allowed kids to easier complete sets. A side-effect was the creation of scarce "High Numbers".
Short Print (SP) is a card printed in lesser quantity than other cards in the set. Recent short prints are often serially-numbered.
Team Set is a group of all the cards of players for a certain team.
Test Issue is a small printing by a card company to see if products are of interest to collectors. Some of Topps neatest items are "Test Issues" like 1956 Topps Pins & 1974 Topps Puzzles.
Tobacco Card is typically from the early 1900's and were issued with tobacco products, the most famous of which is the T-206 Honus Wagner card.
Traded/Update Set is a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.
Trimmed Card is a card reduced in size mostly to hide damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards have very little value compared to the un-trimmed version. In some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands. The most famous 'trimmed' card is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large before it was trimmed down to size.
Unauthorized Issue is a card release which is not licensed by the league, player's association or player.
Variation is a card printed by the manufacturer that differs in some way from the normal card.
Wax Pack is a generic term for a pack of cards. The "wax" came from a time when packs were sealed in wax paper wrappers. Today it is still used for packs even though they no longer use wax paper.
