1982 O-Pee-Chee (OPC) Baseball Checklist & Values
1982 - Cal Ripken - need I say more.
What ... No Ripken ???
OPC decide to pull some cards from their set so they could add more
Expos and Blue Jays.
I bet they wish they kept the Ripken !!!

1960 Fleer Baseball Cards

The 1960 Fleer baseball set contained 79 regular-sized cards
honoring the careers of Hall-of-Famers like Babe Ruth, Walter
Johnson, Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner, Ted Williams and more !!!
Fleer was prevented from using current players by Topps'
exclusive rights, so they issued their Baseball Greats set using
retired players, managers, executives and the two league
commissioners. Luckily Fleer had their own exclusive rights deal
with Ted Williams, who quickly became the most in demand card in
the set. Unfortunately the weak card design and retired players
made it a giant dud with kids and the product was not well received.
There are very scarce variations with Joe Tinker,Eddie Collins
& Lefty Grove fronts, all with #80 Pepper Martin backs.
They are usually found cancelled or hand-cut from sheets. Likely
Pepper Martin's card was pulled due to contract issues.
The variations are not considered part of the complete set.

Baseball card collecting terms (part D-F)
Die-Cut A special card that differs from a basic card by
"Die-Cutting", cutting away portions of the card to create a special design.
Most are serially numbered & limited.
Error Card Baseball card history is filled with error cards,
many of them very interesting. Hank Aaron is on 2 of my favorite error cards.
Aaron's 1956 Topps card action photo shows Aaron sliding home but
it is actually Willie Mays not Aaron. Topps again goofed on Aaron's 1957
"reversed negative" card showing Aaron batting left-handed.
"Error Cards" are usually found early in print runs and often corrected.
When this correction happens a VARIATION is created.
Some variations are extremely interesting and very expensive while others
are totally boring and you wonder why they were even made.
Extended Set Also frequently called Update Set or
Traded Set.
They are sets issued after the original release to update the regular set
with new and traded players.
Facsimile Autograph is an autograph printed on a card to show
what the player's actual signature looks like. They are not "real" autographs.
Factory Set are complete sets usually in special boxes
produced by the manufacturer. "Hand-Collated Sets" are sets collectors
have put together card by card from packs.
