Any idea why there was not a 1975 OPC Mini issued?

It may be a dumb question, but hey....I ask a lot of those anyway so why not one more!

I always thought it was because it's impossible to convert 2.125 x 3.125 inches to metric.

But in all seriousity, the mini's were a test issue in only parts of the USA only, they must not have considered testing it in Canada at the time.

The 1975 Mini was a test issue, albeit much more mainstream and widely produced than most. OPC also issued test issues, but rarely did Topps and OPC test issues parallel each other in any given year.

Bob So, here we are. In the middle of nowhere. What're we gonna do? They probably towed our van from the parking lot like five miles from here.
Doug I think it was more than that.
Bob Are you sure?
Doug Yeah, I drank a beer every mile. So here's a case of empties, I'd say we're twenty-four miles from civilization.
Bob No way, half of those are mine.
Doug Okay. Twelve miles.
Bob Hey!
Doug Wha?
Bob We should go metric.
Doug Why?!
Bob Then we could drink a beer every kilometre, not every mile.
Doug So?
Bob So... kilometres are shorter than miles!
Doug AH! So we drink more beers.
Bob Exactly. What's the conversion factor to go from miles to kilos?
Doug Uh. Double it, and add thirty.
Bob No, get out! That's temperature.
Doug So, it's still metric.
Bob Okay. So how many beers could we have had, professor Doug, assuming we drank twelve each?
Doug Um. Hey! Are you implying one of us, possibly me, drank more than twelve?
Bob Wha? No, I'm just sayin' it makes the math easier...
Doug Maybe it was you who drank all the beers!
Bob Huh? No, it wasn't me, eh! I had twelve!
Doug Okay, that sounds about right.
Bob Geez.
Doug So uh, twelve beers, that's... um.
Bob Twelve kilometres.
Doug Right. Uh. Twenty-four. Wow. And uh... thirty is... uh... holy smokes!
Both Fifty-four beers!
Bob Wow. I'm switchin' to metric.
Doug Me too. As soon as we get back to our van.
Bob Geez, it's starting to get dark. What time is it?
Doug Uh, ten o'clock.
Bob What would that be in metric?
Doug Fifty o'clock.
Bob Well now that doesn't make sense.
Doug No, it's like next Tuesday in uh, the Metric Universe.
Bob The Metric Universe?
Doug Yeah!
Bob Wow.
Doug Beauty, eh?
Bob Star Wars was out last month, you nobk!
Doug Sorry, eh? Geez, now I'm getting cold. How far do you figure we are from the van?
Bob Um. I think the parking lot was a couple miles in the direction we're heading.
Doug A couple miles? How many kilometres is that?
Bob Two... four...
Doug Two-four? Nice.
Bob Thirty-four. Aw man!
Doug Geez. I don't like metric anymore.
Bob Me neither. Back to the old system.

The reason as I was told (by someone's grandpappy in a bar just outside of Plymouth MI.) was that minis were sent as punishment to two (CA, MI) of the "armpits" of the U.S. Americans would never punish their Canadian allies with these little nuggets of the cardisphere. Topps however did use OPC's patented techinques for O/C printing and miscutting.
