Featuring a checklist of 242 total cards and chalked full of players that were suiting up for the two Canadian based Major League Baseball franchises in the form of the Toronto Blue Jays and Montreal Expos, the 1978 O-Pee-Chee baseball set, due to a later printing date than its Topps counterpart, had many of the cards feature an extra line on the front of the card when a player changed teams, with some players featured on a different team that what is seen in the Topps release found south of the border. Featuring a total of thirty-six (36) packs on the interior that each contain ten (10) cards as well as a stick of bubble gum, this box of 1978 OPC baseball and its contents, recently examined and certified by BBCE, survives in admirable condition with some light surface wear to all four (4) sides as well as the top lid and bottom. With the edges of the lid folded over both the left and right sides of the box, the fold up display is partially perforated and the original purchase price of .15 cents is displayed at the upper right hand corner of the lid. Featuring the likes of Nolan Ryan, George Brett, Mike Schmidt, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson and numerous other stars as well as the key rookie cards of Eddie Murray and Andre Dawson, the box also displays with some edge and corner wear as well as some light creasing and a heavy ding at the front top right corner. Sealed with BBCE shrink wrap, with the firm’s identifying label and tamper-proof hologram affixed to the underside, the box offers numerous possibilities for whoever will become our lucky winning bidder and the box's new owner!
