Officially the 14th and 15th seasons of play for the Canadian Football League and considered to be the 18th and 19th seasons in modern day Canadian football, the 1971 and 1972 CFL seasons saw the Calgary Stampeders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats claim victories in the 59th and 60th Grey Cup championship games. Offered here, we present this lot consisting of a complete set of O-Pee-Chee's 1971 CFL Football release as well as a near-complete set of the company's 1972 CFL Football release as well.
Starting with the earliest release, the 1971 O-Pee-Chee CFL Football release includes all 132-cards making up the checklist, with the assembly found to be in the overall condition range of EX to EX-MT for its effort. Including the key rookie card of #13 Joe Theisman, which presents in the condition range of G to VG and affected by corner wear and a small crease that shows on the reverse, the rest of the key cards include; 52-Cutler (EX to EX-MT), 62-Coffey (VG-EX to EX - print marks over the surface), 69-Mosca (EX - slight surface wear and a light diamond cut), 71-Gabriel (VG-EX to EX - light wear to the corners and left border), 101-Lancaster (EX to EX-MT - slightly off-center), 103-Reed (FR to G - crease and surface wear), 106-Dalla Riva (EX to EX-MT - slightly off-center and surface wear) and 132-Checklist (PR - marked, scuffed and creased).
For the 1972 release, including 130 of the 132 cards that make up the checklist, the group is missing only those of 24-Shaw and 132-Checklist while it is important to mention that cards #67-80 are all showing an elastic band mark which is more pronounced on cards #67-71. For the rest of the set, found to be in the range of EX to EX-MT for its effort, included are key cards; 7-Mosca (EX to EX-MT - slight wear to the bottom border and bottom right corner), 9-Gabriel (EX to EX-MT - slight wear to the border and a tiny surface bubble), 27-Theisman (EX-MT - off-center), 79-Lancaster (EX-MT to NM - off-center) and 80-Reed (EX to EX-MT - off-center and slight surface wear).
