1969 O Pee Chee Hockey - Stamps affixed to Card Back

budo

What is the grading effect of the OPC stamps being affixed to the back of these cards? Does it drop the grade? No affect on the grade?

If there's no effect on the grade.... is there an effect on the desirability of the card in that grade? If yes, is the desirability higher or lower with the stamp?

I hope someone can answer this as I have the same question except for the Topps version. I have a beautiful Gordie Howe with the stamp. Is it possible to soak the stamp off without damaging the card?

Thanks,

Robert

don't know how the stamp affects the grade, but from my point of view it enhances the card's desirability and value. I suppose somebody who is chasing high grade cards from this set might well disagree, but for somebody trying to pick up mid-grade cards I think the stamp is a "bonus".

I've submitted '69 Topps Hockey for grading to PSA, but never with the stamps on the back.



I would think they would down grade the card significantly with a stamp on the back as that was attached post production and not

part of the card's original production.



Just to be sure I would call PSA cust. service and have them answer it officially.

I just spoke with Matt at PSA Customer Service and he feels strongly that the stamp on back would have no affect on the grading of the card itself (just an a post-sale signature on the card would not affect the card grade itself).

Stamps were issued as inserts and the corresponding card had a box on the back where you can affix the stamp. I picked up a complete set of cards with stamps affixed a few years back and I included them as an extra part of my complete regular set.



Here's an example of the Orr:

Not sure where PSA comes out on grading them, I can't find any on ebay. My hunch would be PSA Authentic.

A signature on the card doesn't affect the grade?

I thought it would give the card a MK qualifier.

I hope you guys are joking.
