Lot # 1853: 1981 to 1991 O-Pee-Chee Complete Set Collection (9 Sets, 3,278 Cards)

Presented is a collection of eleven complete sets of O-Pee-Chee baseball cards spanning the years 1981 to 1991. O-Pee-Chee baseball cards were issued regionally only in Canada and are much rarer than their American counterparts. They are particularly rare to find in complete set form. Each set is loaded with all the great stars and Hall of Famers from the 1980s. The overall condition of the collection is 43% Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt (including some Mint), 50% Ex to Ex-Mt (mostly due to centering), and 7% lesser (mostly due to miscut centering). Highly variable centering is a characteristic of O-Pee-Chee sets from this era and the 1981, 1983, and 1984 sets in this collection are particularly affected by this issue. This collection consists of the following:1) 1981 O-Pee-Chee (374): Keys: #39 Murray, 113 Brett, 136 Raines RC (Ex-Mt), 207 Schmidt (miscut centering), 220 Seaver, 240 Ryan (Nr/Mt-Mt), 254 Smith, 261 Henderson (Nr/Mt+), 286 Bench, and 347 Baines RC (Ex due to centering). 2) 1982 O-Pee-Chee (396): Keys: #18 Bench, 30 Seaver, 70 Raines, 90 Ryan (Nr/Mt), 95 Smith, 100 Schmidt, 200 Brett, 268 Henderson (Ex-Mt due to centering), 300 Jackson, and 361 Rose (Nr/Mt-Mt+). 3) 1983 O-Pee-Chee (396): Keys: #3 Brett, 60 Bench, 83 Sandberg RC (20/80 T/B, otherwise Nr/Mt+), 143 Gwynn RC (Ex), 163 Ripken (Nr/Mt+), 300 Schmidt, and 360 Ryan (Nr/Mt-Mt). 4) 1984 O-Pee-Chee (396): Keys: #8 Mattingly RC (Nr/Mt due solely to centering), 66 Ryan (Ex), 182 Strawberry RC (Vg-Ex), and 363 Ripken (Ex). 5) 1985 O-Pee-Chee (396): Keys: #10 Puckett RC (70/30 L/R, otherwise Nr/Mt-Mt), 41 Gooden RC (Ex), and 324 Mattingly (Nr/Mt-Mt). 6) 1986 O-Pee-Chee (396): Keys: #98 Clemens (Ex-Mt) and 329 Puckett (Nr/Mt+). 7) 1987 O-Pee-Chee (396): Keys: #320 Bonds RC (slight tilt to picture, otherwise Nr/Mt) and 361 Clark RC (Nr/Mt+). 8) 1988 O-Pee-Chee (396). 9) 1991 O-Pee-Chee Premier (132). This is a very substantial mid- to high-grade collection of complete sets from these very popular O-Pee-Chee issues! Total: 3,278 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
