O-Pee-Chee baseball card action here is sure to garner interest and action, with a near set from OPC’s last-similar-to-Topps issue of 660 cards from 1976 lacking just three dozen cards for completion and exhibiting very few creased examples. EX, EX+ and EX-MT cards account for a strong majority, with small percentages better/worse. Leading the way are cards of Eckersley (RC)(EX), Rose (EX-MT) and Brett (EX-MT), with Nolan Ryan looking to be the lone real big name not present. Unfortunately, some of the stars (Aaron, Yaz, Rice, Yount, Munson) are among the intermittent cards with a small stain in the upper left corner – you’ll see what we mean in our images. Still, some interesting break-up value segues into complete sets from ’77 (264 cards), ’78 (242), ’79 (374) and ’80 (374). Again, minimal handling/wear is to report, with the ‘77s exhibiting light toning on the backs and, like the ’76 and ’78 reps, a slight curvature. Eddie Murray’s RC (EX-MT+ with a slight diamond cut) anchors a ’78 assembly, while centering (front) and a miscut back affect Ozzie Smith’s otherwise NM ’79 rookie card. The ’79 and ’80 sets are housed in 9-pocket pages and a binder but appear similar to the rest, with EX to NM-or better cards throughout the collection to provide enjoyable times and several options when they’re delivered.
