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. Offered here, we present this complete assembly of O-Pee-Chee's 1978 baseball release. Found to be in the overall high-grade condition range of EX-MT to NM for its effort, the set is lead by EX-MT to NM offerings of 29-Yount (85-15 centering), 50-Bench, 105-Ryan (80-20 centering), 120-Seaver, 154-Murray RC, 180-Dawson (1st OPC card), 215-Brett and 225-Schmidt while following close behind in the scope of EX-MT are the cards of 78-Winfield (tiny amount of corner wear at the top right), 100-Rose (off-center and slight wear at the right border), 110-Jackson (tiny amount of corner wear at the bottom left), 135-Carter (tiny notch at the right border) and 230-Carew (very tiny top right corner ding). Closed out by a VG to VG-EX copy of card #241 of Nolan Ryan that presents with a small crease at the top right, it is worth pointing out for accuracy that card #168 is badly creased and that many of the cards display with the commonly seen O-Pee-Chee centering issues of the era. With the two checklist cards remaining in an unmarked state and the other stars in the checklist in a condition that is consistent with the rest of the set, don't let this assembly of diamond kings pass you and your all-important collection by!
