Some impressive 1971 O-Pee-Chee cards highlight this Canadian Football League offering, with EX-MT, EX-MT+ and NM examples showing up the most often among the red-bordered '71s which star Joe Theisman. It appears as though some wax was removed from the back of Joe's card #13, with an upper left edge notch also observed. Near-perfect centering is an attribute - we'd say EX-MT or very close to it. A couple of dozen condition exceptions are to note, with the odd crease and/or noticeable corner wear sending most of them to the VG to VG-EX range, including #71-Tony Gabriel RC (VG). A Dave Cutler RC (EX-MT (OC)) is autographed, as are cards of 1-Bill Symons and 4-Ed Harrington. The first and last few have rubber band-caused edge indentations, including the unmarked #132-Checklist (otherwise EX-MT). Legends Lancaster, Mosca, Reed, Young and others contribute, as does a Peter Dalla Riva RC. Meanwhile, a near set of '72 OPCs is not quite as nice, with however creases again minimal and a range of conditions (EX-MTs and NMs are to come upon) averaging EX. Some miscuts are spotted, with the Theisman example (VG+) exhibiting a diamond cut. One card, 29-Symons is autographed, with 110-LaRose required for completion and a curious blank-backed card of 92-Greg Pipes also present. The checklist is marked and otherwise VG-EX. The last two O-Pee-Chee CFL sets can be had here with one swoop.
