This is probably a stupid question, but did the 1964 OPC packs contain just regular 1964 Topps cards?

Yes, they did. But more of the cards (not all) have the typical O-Pee-Chee cuts on the right and left edges.

Do you know if OPC has issued regular Topps cards in their packs in other years? A few years ago I purchased a grouping of 69 and 70 OPC cards from a seller in Canada, and included were some regular 69 Topps cards. All of the cards included in the lot were from the higher series and most all had the typical OPC cuts, even though they were "regular" Topps cards. While I have come across some cuts like this with 69s, this is certainly not the norm.

Could these higher numbered 69 Topps cards been issued in Canada via OPC? It was the following year that the sets began to expand greatly in size....so were the "regular" 64s as well as the 69 Topps cards I found part of tests for future OPC expansions?

From 1965 to the present, I've never seen any but I'm not 100% certain.
