My recent OPC raw pick-ups (Updated 6-30)

As some of you know, I am very fond of anything OPC baseball. I thought I would post some of my recent pick-ups and see what you guys think. First up is a couple early 70's samples featuring some HOFers:

Next up is a group of 75 OPC commons:

Finally, here are some 81 OPC Grayback HOFers. While OPC are were generally printed at 5-10% of the Topps level, these are even more rare. They are not centered perfectly, but are solid for that particular issue:

    Good stuff. I never realized how much I like those 72 League Leader cards.

    Nice 1967's from one heck of a tough set! Anything in a 7 or higher is high grade for 1967's; if you plan to sell and the back sides are good too, I'd be grading those 1967 cards if I were you. I got way more than I'd have expected for some 8's and 7's from that set.

    Wow that's quite a few gorgeous Canadians. As I've stated before, I dig vintage league leader cards, and you can't go wrong with an OPC featuring 3 HOF pitchers!

    WOW!
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    Those are some very nice looking cards. Love those first two, the league leaders and the Carew. Makes me want to open some 70's OPC wax!

    Wow, those are awesome. I have a lot of them in Topps, but not OPC. Thanks for sharing!

    I just picked up a very nice lot of 1974 OPC, which are very tough to find in high grade. Here are some examples:

    Love those 74 OPCs! I opened several packs a few months back and can attest to how difficult they are!

    I think 1974 has by far theeeeee worst card stock ever used!

    Thanks guys!!

    Tom, the stock definitely makes this issue hard to find in high grade. However, I do like the brighter backs in comparison to its Topps counterpart.

    those are pretty cards, congrats!
