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 H-R)

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.
