1977 O-Pee-Chee (OPC) Baseball
Checklist & Values


In 1977, O-Pee-Chee decide to reduce the size of their set from 660 in 1976 OPC all the way down to only 264 for 1977 OPC. This was at the same time that baseball added Canada's 2nd team, the Toronto Blue Jays.

As the set became much, much smaller, the Canadian teams (Expos and Blue Jays) were way overrepresented. Most the other teams had only (6) to (11) cards, the Blue Jays and Expos had (27) and (29). All the team cards, that had been in Topps set, were eliminated while the Jays and Expos managers and coaching staffs had their own cards.

Baseball card collecting terms (part G)

Grade/Condition Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, creases, print flaws ... all combine to determine a card's condition or grade. Along with rarity/scarcity it is the major factor in a card's value.

Graded Card As values increased the condition of cards and the determination of fakes and alterations became increasingly more important. Various companies became "graders" of your cards. For a fee they would grade your card (usually on a 1 to 10 scale) and then placed in a sealed plastic holder with labelling of the vital information.

From past experiences, most people are NOT HAPPY with the grades they receive. To keep values up, graders can be extremely picky. Things you don't see, they do so don't be surprized when the NEAR MINT card you send in ends up with an EX or EX/MINT grade.

There are TOO many grading companies - if you do, do choose carefully. PSA / SGC / GAI / BGS are some of the many companies. It is good to know that getting a card graded by a company that people do not recognize or respect will usually just cost you time and money and not help you in any way.
