1985 OPC Garbage Pail Kids 1st Series

Does anyone know much about these?

From what I can find it is the same Topps cards just in different packaging that is labeled as OPC. It seems that the OPC packaging is much rarer but the cards are the same?

Any information anyone has would be helpful. Thank you.

Nice to bring this up. Those cards are highly collectible and fun to view. I did not know there was an OPC version of the early GPK. I learn something new in this hobby even on things I collected for years. I would be curious for an answer to your question as well.

Thank you. I'm assuming this mean there is no way to tell the difference between Topps and OPC cards?

I guess if they still say topps on them, then no, try selling a rough cut as proof of OPC

I would think it would say Printed in Canada on the back

You'd think, but if that was the case, then you'd think some would have been submitted to PSA and then a new Flip designation would have been created.
