1965 O-Pee-Chee/OPC
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.

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.
