Boasting a checklist of 752-cards, the 1971 baseball card set produced by O-Pee-Chee set mirrors Topps' American version though the cards from the Canadian company weren't cut as precisely as the Topps issuance and therefore the card borders are often found frayed. Condition sensitive due to the black coloured borders that are often found chipped, the set is far rarer than the Topps set from the same year and is anchored by such stars and future Hall of Famers as Hank Aaron, Sparky Anderson MGR, Luis Aparicio, Johnny Bench, Bert Blyleven, Lou Brock, Steve Carlton, Roberto Clemente, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Harmon Killebrew, Willie Mays, Jim Palmer, Tony Perez, Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver and Carl Yastrzemski as well as Rich Allen, Dusty Baker, Steve Garvey, Denny McLain, Thurman Munson, Boog Powell and Pete Rose. Offered here, we present this collection of 1971 O-Pee-Chee baseball offerings that totals out to 298-cards in all. With the group seen as presenting in the overall average condition range of VG to VG-EX throughout, key cards present include those of 1-Orioles (GOOD - crease and corner wear), 5-Munson (VG to VG-EX - corner wear), 14-Concepcion RC (G to VG - off-center and corner/border wear), 20-Jackson (VG - completely off-center from top-to-bottom with wear to the bottom two corners), 30-Niekro (VG to VG-EX - corner wear), 50-McCovey (VG-EX to EX - light corner wear), 55-Carlton (G to VG - completely off-center from bottom-to-top), 100-Rose (VG to VG-EX - 95-5 centering), 117-Simmons RC (VG to VG-EX - corner wear), 160-Seaver (FR to G - multiple creases), 210-Carew (G to VG - bottom right corner ding), 250-Bench (PR to F - damage to top left corner), 341-Garvey RC (G to VG - top border ding and factory print line), 400-Aaron (VG to VG-EX - corner wear and 95-5 centering) and 450-Gibson (G to VG - surface and corner wear). A fun trip back in time, the other star players found in the group are found to be in a condition consistent with the others that are included.
