1970 Topps Baseball Cards |
1972 O-Pee-Chee BaseballAlso referred to as OPC or Topps Canada, most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of the Topps cards from that year. Exactly same in design they usually only differed with the addition of French to the backs and some fronts.
Cards differed from their Topps versions mostly due to "Made in Canada",
French/English and different colored backs.
the sets, such as "Boyhood Photos" and "In Action" cards.
Card #465 Gil Hodges is the only card differing significantly from
its corresponding Topps card, which notes his April of 1972 death.
First Time features were "Boyhood Photos" and "In Action" cards.
The O-Pee-Chee cards can be distinguished from Topps cards by
This was also the first year the cards denoted O.P.C. in the
copyright line rather than T.C.G.
There is one card in the set which is notably different from the
corresponding Topps, Gil Hodges #465, which notes his death in April
on the OPC card.

1963 Bazooka ALL-TIME GREATSIn 1963, competitive pressures compelled Topps to add a bonus to it's 1963 Bazooka boxes. These cards were inserted inside boxes of Bazooka bubblegum at 5 per box. The 41-card set of Hall-of-Famers features black and white photos of the player inside a gold plaque. A short biography appears on the back, a first (and last) for Bazooka. The 41 numbered cards measure 1 9/16" by 2 1/2". Scarcer silver colored plaques also exist. |
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.
