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.

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.
