1965 Metal Coin (a year later than Topps) UPDATE-ALL STARS ONLY (per G. Rainsley)
1966 Rub Off (Presumably same as '66 Topps and not a '65 Transfer)
1967 No Mention
1968 Pin Up (a year later than Topps)
1969 OPC Deckle
1970 Unknown Insert
1971 Story Booklet (a year later than Topps); Unknown Insert
1972 No insert (Same as Topps)
1973 Not Shown but SCD Big Book has a Blue Checklist issued
1974 Team Checklist (presumably Red Border)
The Old London coins were made by the same producers as 64 and 71 Topps coins-Space Magic-according to SCD Big Book. They sure look like they were the work of the same firm but I can't believe they were in OPC packs.
I did not realize how the O-Pee-Chee logo evolved from the Topps on the pack fronts: '65, '66 and '67 above all say Topps on front (presumably '66 and '67 have the same OPC side panel as the '65), the '68 has neither then from '69 forward O-Pee-Chee is on the front of the packs. The '68 Wrapper is not like the US Topps ones either.
Did the 64 or earlier packs have any OPC details on them?
Any more varieties out there?
