Why do collector's here in the US like/want/collect OPC? They are basically a shortened set version of the Topps set. I know there are various reasons for desiring these pieces of cardboard goodness. 1) the set is shorter, a good reason 2) sometimes the backs are different, a great reason 3) or....
Could it be that little black font stating traded to, or now with there current team? I'm sure there are many other reasons for collecting these cards. I have scanned the dupes that had that little addition in the cards that I got. I like the retirement announcement for Luzinski.
"free agent"
"Now VP"
"Drafted By" Another thing for me is that whether the card is a traded to like Moore above, I still include him in my Braves team set because he is donning his Braves uniform. I also collect the traded to Braves as i should as part of the team set. I have several hundred dupes available for trade if anyone is interested, just shoot me an e-mail with your want list.
1985: 1, 10, 26, 32, 41, 61, 63, 66, 67, 72, 76, 90, 92, 100, 115, 116, 118, 124, 126, 163, 177, 181, 182, 191, 221, 230, 296, 302, 304, 309, 324, 348, 355, 356, 359, 360, 365, 370, 378, 383, 385, 393, 395.
I also picked up a substantial lot of of 1986 OPC, however I sent those dupes packing.
Usually OPC gets it right, putting the "new" team logo on the card. they missed this one.
Enjoy!
wow those are interesting. Never seen the Greg Luzinski before.
ReplyDeleteHey John... I have the following 85OPC for your set: 26, 32, 61, 66, 72, 76, 92, 118, 177, 181, 296, 302, 304, 309, 324, 355, 356, 359, 365, 378, 370, 393, and 395. There are a few that have gum stains, but at least you can use them as fillers until you can find replacements.
ReplyDeleteI also found these two 2017 Stadium Club cards off your wantlist: 15 & 174. Email me your address and I'll ship them out next week.
