Uncut Topps and OPC Baseball Uncut Sheets

Is there a site that has both images of Topps and OPC Baseball Uncut Sheets? I am really interested to see the positioning of cards in the 1979 OPC baseball sheets. There are some cards that are extremely difficult to find with anything close to nice centering, and I hope that the sheets might help confirm why.

    Unfortunately vcp doesn't pick up uncut sheets, and auction houses won't sell single ones that recent most of the time. Best bet is to search Huggins and Scott and see if they have anything, they tend to be more eclectic with a wider range.
    Hopefully there is someone saving images as they come up like JMoran does with early '70's sheets.

    Would the layout for the OPC sheets be the same as the regular Topps sheets. Here are a couple of the H&S auction items Anthony alluded to:

    No, OPC set is much smaller than Topps in 1979 and card numbers are different.

    Thanks for the responses, guys. I will look at the one from H&S and check out some of the other auction houses.

    I have pics of most of the topps sheets. My experience with OPC is basically the layout is the same except for the OPC only cards like 1971 expos or cards not included in an OPC set but I don't have any experience with 79 OPC. So for example if on the US sheet rows 7 thru 12 are also printed in Canada more than likely the layout is the same.

    Do you want me to post all I got for Topps 1979?

    For 79 OPC, #1 at edge of sheet is Lee May which is a beast of a card for that set. Because the card numbers are different and the set is much smaller than its Topps counterpart, placement of cards and location on sheet are also completely different from Topps.

    John, I would love to see the 1979 sheets.

    Tim, saying the Lee May is a beast of a card is an understatement. I probably have 15 copies of that card and subbed my best one. It came back a PSA 6 because of centering. There are only 2 graded higher (one 7 and one 8). I now own the psa 7. I wonder who I got it from, Tim.image
