1973 O-Pee-Chee Baseball Cards
& Complete Team Sets
1973 O-Pee-Chee baseball, the Canadian verison of 1973 Topps, both
contained 660 cards and were nearly identical in design. The
1973 O-Pee-Chee(OPC) cards, of course were in both French & English
with 'Made in Canada' on back.
Card #1 one is super-cool, picturing the All-Time Home Run Kings
(at the time) Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron.
Top rookies were Hall-of-Famers Mike Schmidt and Goose Gossage.
Not Hall-of-Famers but darn good were rookies Bob Boone & Dwight Evans.

Are sports cards valuable ?
Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value,
others go up and some can even become very valuable.
Card values are based on many factors:
player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest.
A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.
Q: What are some ways to collect cards ?
* Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears),
players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George &
Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)
"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue.
On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common
while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
