Colourfully bordered and condition sensitive, offered here is this complete 1973-74 O-Pee-Chee issue consisting of 264 total cards with all displaying white backs on the reverse sides. Including key rookie card offerings of #81 Bill Barber and #142 Billy Smith in EX to EX-MT vicinity with what is considered to be pleasing centering. The other top rookie offering, #237 Larry Robinson is the nicest of the three by a little bit, falling in the range of EX-MT while being off-center right-to-left but sporting sharp corners. The cards of Hall of Famers #17-Dionne, #30-Orr, #50-Clarke, #72-Lafleur, #87-Richard and #132-Sittler fall in the range of VG-EX to EX with most being closer to EX in our humble opinion while the Lafleur, Richard and Sittler each show a small wrinkle on one of the top corners. The checklist cards, #116 (VG), #129 (G) and #263 (EX/EX+) are all found unmarked. The majority of the cards have corner and wear and condition is pretty consistent throughout with the set mainly comprised of cards in the VG-EX to EX-MT scope of the grading scale in our opinion with 8-10 cards included being lower grade offerings. The first appearance of OPC team cards is also to note with the ’73-74 set.
