    Wow, that's nice. Heck of an addition for someone's collection.

    Gorgeous card. Clarke looks like an old Ron Duguay.

    Hey Tom,

    Where did you find that beauty ? I know there are some very nice high grade raw sets out there from that year. That card is virtually flawless.

  • tsalems1tsalems1 Posts: 3,373 ✭✭✭

    This summer purchased a run of OPC Hockey sets just outside Toronto 1973 on up. The 1975 set pulled lots of PSA 9's and some 10's including this card.

    nice
    but a bit of a tilt
    and centering isn't exactly 50/50 all around

    and the price ... PWCC only got $326.00 for it
    maybe there is a reason, but why is it priced 4X as much ?

    Topps vs OPC and Pop 4 vs Pop 1, appropriately priced

  • ok, I see

  • Mickey MaysMickey Mays Posts: 288 ✭✭✭

    Great card !
    If you glance at the card it looks like Orr was assists leader, but he was tied with Clarke, who got the smaller picture.

    Philadelphia never did get any respect, lol
    I can say that, lived in Philly entire life

    Exactly right. The Topps and OPC cards are by no means comparable with each other for sales data.

  • yes, I missed the topps vs. opc thing

    still has a tilt, among other things
    I don't think its drool worthy,

    I have zero dogs in this fight. But in full disclosure I have bought cards from Tom before and have a ‘77 OPC currently enroute.

    But for this card I’m sorry but I strenuously object.

    https://youtu.be/bOnRHAyXqYY

    It is the perfect example of what a 75 OPC Hockey Card should look like. Is it a 10.5? No. Is it an 11? No. Why? Because there is no such thing on a scale of 1-10.

    It is a perfect 10. I measure it at 52/48 TB on both corners. 48/52 LR on top and 50.1/ 49.9 LR on the bottom. If that card looks tilted to you then your life must be miserable because nothing could live up to your lofty expectations.

    All in good fun but man you must be tough to live with. ;)

    seriously ?

    over a "tilt" comment made a million times over on this board
    must be something about mine

    I wonder what YOUR life is worth with such a reply

    This card is almost impossible to find centered. I often am in awe at cards like this Orr when my whole life I've only seen dreadfully off centered and miscut examples. Good luck with the sale.

    The completed sales of this card on ebay shows that 90% of them are way off centered. I only found one that is centered like this.

    I believe the big deal is that several members have followed this card for a long time and to find one with this centering is something special.

    That may be
    but the original poster said he could not find a thing wrong with it
    and not that I was TRYING to
    but the tilt was obvious
    and that makes for an odd centering

    I'm not a fan of tilted cards

    and since they have followed this one for a while
    then someone should jump on it then

  • ExodusExodus Posts: 348 ✭✭✭

    It all depends how someone defines perfect. If they define it in the way OPC printed and cut cards from the factory back in that day, then that card is perfect for card #209. If someone is comparing that card to a card cut today by upper deck, then it is not perfect. In other words, you won't find a better card for that issue, and it is absolute perfection for those who know that card.

  • ExodusExodus Posts: 348 ✭✭✭

    Also wanted to add that the card is not 50/50. If someone's idea of perfection is 50/50, then the card is not perfect to them either.

    nobody said any of that
    only that the card was tilted

    if all cards were cut titled,
    then that would be a non issue

    I'd prefer 45/55 centering & no tilt

    because when you have a tilt,
    a 45/55 centering is built in

    Give me a 10x and I will find a problem with any card. It IS perfect compared to any other of this issue. Tilt does not bother me unless it is really bad. Different strokes for different folks.

    Nice card Tom. Good luck with the sale.

    Must be my eyes. I can’t see the tilt even in the zoomed in snippet. Great looking card.

  • jfkheatjfkheat Posts: 2,721 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I may be wrong but I think the "tilt" that Mr. BGS is seeing is because the scan is tilted.

    really ?
    you cant see where the 1974-75 assist block section was cut and dragged down
    and over-layed on the bottom part of the card with the inside borders lined up
    showing the out white borders NOT lining up ?

    if you still cant, I cant help you

    Any hockey collector would love to own that card. It is incredibly difficult to find in that condition.

  • initialDinitialD Posts: 1,624 ✭✭✭

    Yes the scan is tilted in the photo
    But the front of the card looks to be square
    against the left edge of the slab
    Fractionally miscut top and bottom with a
    minute skosh of tilt
    Given the era, technology and the fact it's
    OPC....Perfect

  • maybe> @initialD said:

    Yes the scan is tilted in the photo

    it has NOTHING to do with it
    it can be on a 45 degree angle
    but the whole card is
    and top to bottom portion still drags the same

    ok, so I've been looking for a nice 1969 Bench in a psa 8
    they sell for $300 - $400
    I wonder why this one sold for $200 ???
    hmmm
    any guesses ?

    yes, I know ... more severe
    but a tilt is a tilt

    I like a good ol' fashioned fact mission as much as anyone, but this seems excessive @BGS_Buyer. We got it. You aren't a fan.

    I'd happily own it.

    Agree to disagree?

  • I guess the point around here is, well this card is tough to get centered

    if you read it all
    I just said TILT & it set everyone off on how it is not and its good enough
    if good enough is the new PSA 10 standard, then I'm ok with it
    I did not post 10 continuous fact finding missions ... I just replied

    then buy it

  • dennis07dennis07 Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭

    Tilt does not prevent a card from obtaining a PSA 10. Not sure why you continue to raise the issue. We get it. You don't like tilt on any card. Fine.

    I've always hated getting the "tilt" when playing pinball. So annoying.

    Card looks awesome. Doesn't look out of place in a 10 holder to me in the slightest.
