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 only light wear observed over all four (4) sides, mostly contained to surface wear over the top lid, bottom and sides as well as some wear to the corners and edges that is worth pointing out for accuracy, heaviest at the top left point and bottom points on the front side as well as the two bottom corners at the back where slight creasing is also observed. With the edges of the lid slightly folded over both the left and right sides of the box, the fold-up display does not appear to have been perforated. The top right of the lid reads the original purchase price of .15 cents. 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 has been sealed with BBCE's shrink wrap and displays the firm’s identifying label and tamper-proof sticker affixed to the underside that displays “1978 OPC Baseball Unopened Wax Box”. Offering numerous possibilities for whoever will become our lucky winning bidder and the box's new owner, don't miss out on this one!
