I especially like the high numbers that share the same back design as the Topps set, but with the bold yellow stock. I've been waiting for a big lot of low grade cards to come my way before starting the set, I have maybe ~60 or so cards. the 71's are my favorite front design of the 70's baseball issues

Default The set is a BEAST!!

A whole other world from its Topps counterpart. A challenge that should keep you busy for quite some time! Good luck! Awesome set BTW.

I noticed the advertisement for the player booklet in one of the wrapper variations in the image at top - was Topps using their left-overs from 1970 baseball? Did they insert the previous year's inserts in the OPC set typically?

search "1971 OPC pack break" on youtube and when the pack is opened right on top is the gum followed by a 1970 Story Booklet. On ebay there are several 1970 OPC Story Booklets for sale, but the trademark on the back is printed T.C.G. How does the seller know they are OPC booklets?

My understanding they are Topps booklets no difference at all. Left over from Topps so they aren’t OPC booklets but I guess a Canadian who opened them in 1971 could claim they are OPC. 😀
