That's REALLY a lot of games to read. So explain to me, what's the allure of OPC? Why not just be normal and collect Topps?

Even if I wanted to, the rough edges would drive me away.

best way i can describe it is:

(and of course this is just me speaking, there are no listed numbers to back it up)

10% production vs it's Topps counterpart, 10% the Hobby Love as it's counterpart.

and yes, unless they are sheet cut, they are gonna have rough edges

handyman

would rather have topps. But good prices and hope they hold.
But i would rather have a topps 1979 Gretzky 9 over /////// 1979 Opc 8 along with 1980 opc 8 gretzky but they arent the same grade or issue so what do i know

What do the backs look like? Are they like the 1978 Topps burger king cards that are identical to the regular issue except for the different number?

The paper stock is different, hard to describe online. The backs starting in '77 i think it was, is in English and French

handyman

aware, but still I agree , BB I want topps

absolute hear you, nothing wrong with that or ANY way of "collecting"

handyman

Beyond that, Your right, amazing prices. Which is great for us and the hobby.
But for me I would love to have a 1975 Topps Ryan 9 Over a so called scarece issue OPC . Hockey OPC and Baseball OPC are at war and Hockey OPC is winning I feel.
But Still I want the BB topps issue

OPC's paper stock and printing process tends to provide more vivid color. For a set like this, that's a major draw.

A OPC 75 wax box just ended at about $1300. It came from Just Collect, so it's likely an off-center box.

bsfastball

That box also only had 36 packs in it. Steve's got a box with all 48 packs for $2100

eyebone

it has been speculated on here before that in some of the older years ('60s) opc print runs were only about 5% that of topps--if i remember correctly.

opc prices are often hit and miss.

You also have to remember that those examples are all included in the master player registries and don't come up for grabs very often, I highly doubt you would see that kind of premium paid for commons.

CDsNuts

That's generally what those cards sell for. No huge surprises here.

The paper stock is bleached, a process that I don't believe is allowed in the U.S. That's why some of the baseball traded sets with bleached card stock were manufactured in Ireland.

Some of the commons went from 35-48 I believe

Learn something new everyday. Fantastic! Thank you for the information

How do these compare with prices on other high grade OPC from the 70's? I seem to remember that prices for 1972 OPC are not nearly this strong.

Anyway, if these prices persist, I'll be the first to say that I welcome our new canadian overlords.

OPCs are much tougher in higher grades as the production methods by which the cards were cut (they used airplane wire) were primitive even by 70s Topps standards.

By coincidence, a partial box of 1975 OPC packs (36 out of 48 packs left in box) was sold last night on ebay by Just Collect for around $1,200. The 75 OPC wax boxes contained 48 packs instead of 36, but the card count per pack was 8 instead of 10.
