Released in a year that saw the Ottawa Rough Riders defeat the Calgary Stampeders 24-21 to claim the 1968 Grey Cup at CNE Stadium in Toronto, up for grabs here is this complete 132-card set of O-Pee-Chee’s 1968 CFL release that includes all of the rare short print specimens. Featuring a mix of grade ranges including VG/EX, EX and EX-MT, a few of the cards display creases as well as varying degrees of handling wear that is commonly seen on cards of this age. Featuring key cards of 78-Evanshen, 87-Lancaster and 66-Pitts (RC) in the condition range of EX/EX-MT, those in EX vicinity include 17-Jackson, 51-Zugar, 55-Henley and 86-Reed. Others worth mentioning include 46-Mosca in the scope of VG-EX/EX as well as cards 44-Coffey and 101-McQuarters in the vicinity of VG/EX. The checklist card, listed as #132 in the assembly is found in the previously mentioned VG/EX condition range and has been marked albeit very neatly. Of note, two copies of card #18 (Bo Scott) are present. Sure to be a great trip down memory lane for our winning bidder to when football was much more hard-nosed than it is now.
