Inspired by Tom's (tsalems1) post from a little while back, I set to work on the 1971 OPC CFL set; this after taking a collecting hiatus for a couple of years. I sent in a 64-card sub under the May monthly special. As usual there were a handful of head-scratchers, but nothing disastrous. Also, every card got slabbed; no N1, no N6. There were only a handful of qualifiers, but each one was expected. The most impressive thing about this sub is that, despite a 50-day turnaround time, the cards were graded and shipped in ONLY 6 DAYS! Here are some highlights:

1 1 22962150 NEAR MINT 7 1971 O-PEE-CHEE CFL 2 MEL PROFIT The lowest graded yet, but a tough card to find in decent shape.
