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.
Just the first (525) cards in the Topps issue were included
in the OPC/O-Pee-Chee release.
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.

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.

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.
