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.
TOP STARS: Nolan Ryan, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays,
Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Ted Williams, Thurman Munson, Reggie Jackson...

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948.
Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no
mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets
beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued
some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction
of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911,
modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
