We still have some adjectives left(!) to describe yet another PSA "All-Star", with this big set of big O-Pee-Chee cards including numerous superlatives worthy of high praise. Coming on in popularity in recent years have been OPC's 5" by 7" oversized cards, with some staggering, thought-provoking numbers to tell you about here. Get this, three dozen examples are Pop-1 PSA leaders, including phenomenal NM-MT 8 cards of #s 6-Syl Apps, 7-Pete Langelle RC, 16-Gus Marker, 17-Hooley Smith, 36-Lynn Patrick, 38-Murray Patrick RC, 39-Neil Colville, 43-Mud Bruneteau, 72-Syd Howe and 82-Ab DeMarco. Key rookie cards of 68-Sid Abel and 85-Babe Pratt are among nine Pop-1s in NM 7 holders. Meanwhile, another (27) cards are in first place ties on their respective "lines" on the PSA Population Report, bringing the total of none-ever-graded-higher-at-PSA examples to a highly impressive and remarkable 63! Important cards also to mention include the RC of Hall of Fame goalie Frank Brimsek, (an EX-MT 6 Pop-5 with just one higher), the rookie of Bill Cowley, (a Pop-1 EX-MT 6 with just two higher), and last but definitely not least (it's the most valuable card in the set!) and is the set's last numbered card - Eddie Shore - an EX 5 Pop-4 with just two higher. The splendid assortment of black and white images and their tantalizing grades and standing at PSA combine for a GPA of 6.13 and an appealing opportunity which presents itself for the first time - the chance to own a 1939-40 O-Pee-Chee set which is "The Number One Finest Set of All-Time" at PSA - outstanding!
