I came across this one in one of the boxes holding other sets and I honestly forgot I had them.
1983 O Pee Chee is a 396 card set modeled after the 1983 Topps Set.
Of the 396 cards, I have 257, meaning I'm 64.9% completed..
I've been thinking about this set and I do like it.
Obviously, with it being a 1983 set, there are lots of Jays and Expos.
Multiple Hall of Famers in there as well. Ryan, Dawson, Raines, Carter, Murray, etc etc etc..
It's also got two pretty decent rookie cards..
Tony Gwynn (anywhere from $5.65-35.00 on COMC)
Ryne Sandberg ($11-17 on COMC)
They weren't quite as bad as I thought they would be..
I love the Supervet cards in this (and Topps') sets in 1983. Thhis one is obviously Al Oliver.
Can't show a Canadian set without showing a Canadian player, can I?
I actually own this one, but don't have Fergie Jenkins yet.
I do not own this one yet.. This is another that I thought would be expensive, but according to COMC, I could get it for $2.75..
Another Supervet. This time Nolan Ryan
So am I going to keep collecting this set?
Yes.
The 1983 design is one of my favorites of all-time. I originally wanted to bust a pair of boxes and build the OPC set, but they were too expensive... so I settled on purchasing a complete set on eBay back in 2013. Best of luck with your build.
ReplyDeleteGood decision to keep collecting this set. It's a good one! I might have a few cards for you, so I'll check back on your want list.
ReplyDeleteExcellent.
DeleteI'll probably post the want list link in the post and have the link elsewhere
