Not everyone likes rough cuts, but I dig them.

I love the OPC cards. Growing up in Maine, we sometimes traveled over to Canada. I picked up a few cards as a kid, but at first I didn't realize there was a difference. Centering has always seemed to be an issue the the OPC sets.
1966 OPC Orioles team set with Jim Palmer rookie. I wish that OPC had included Brooks and Frank Robinson in the set. 1966 O-Pee-Chee #1.jpg 1966 O-Pee-Chee #2 - Copy.JPG 1966 OPC Jim Palmer SCAN9680.jpg SCAN9679.jpg |

I love the rough cuts; that's how you know it is an OPC. Well, that plus crappy centering on nearly every card. Which makes it so fun when you find some clean, sharp, centered cards, even commons.
Meanwhile, a few more: ![]() ![]() ![]()

Here's a few pictures of my complete 1969 OPC set in the binder. I love the magenta backs on these!

Is there any premium between with these OPC cards like there is with OPC VS Topps hockey cards? I believe I have a few OPC baseball cards somewhere but I'd have to hunt for them.

Not much, as far as I can tell. I bought a collection of OPC cards once and was surprised by how little they are worth. The average card costs more but not by a ton. So few people collect OPC relative to Topps, I guess. I got into them because of my player collections and my love of all things 1971 Topps (OPC has much nicer backs and stock IMO). I try to pick up nice HOFer examples on the cheap when I see them at the National or on eBay.

My favorite year is 1974 with the yellow backs. When I collected the 1965 through 1985 OPC Cubs team sets the most difficult to find were the 74's, followed by the 65 high numbers. The last card I needed in the whole run was a 74 Dave Rosello four player rookie card.

Were these sold stateside as well or mainly/only in Canada?
