Description

1994 O-Pee-Chee is a 270-card, bilingual, set released exclusively to the Canadian market. Only 2500 serial-numbered cases were produced.

This would be O-Pee-Chee's final baseball card release as an independent company. The OPC name would later be purchased by Upper Deck, who would release an O-Pee-Chee-branded baseball set in 2009, and continues to produce OPC hockey cards to this day.

The four top packs in each box will yield four of the more rare inserts; Diamond Dynamos, Hot Prospects and World Series Champions. The remaining packs will all yield All-Star inserts.

Distribution

36 packs per box, 15 cards per pack. 24 boxes per case. 2500 cases produced. Distributed exclusively in Canada.

NOTES

One the reverse side of the card, the word "O-Pee-Chee" was printed over top of the card's number, making it very difficult to read.
Raul Mondesi's card (#199) was printed without a card number.

Inserts

All-Stars

David-Justice.jpg?id=8e3253e2-339a-4642-84ba-f5aec2d2ec9d&size=original&side=front&.jpg

This 25-card set was randomly inserted into packs. Packs NOT containing a card from one of the other three insert sets (which was most of them), were guaranteed to yield an All-Star. The backs of each card contain information on how to acquire a special foil-stamped jumbo version of the set. For only C$20 and any five standard-sized All-Stars, a collector would receive a full 25-card, 5" X 7", foil-stamped version of this set. Only 5000 serial-numbered foil-stamped jumbo sets were produced.

In addition, a non-foil-stamped jumbo card was inserted into each sealed wax box. Although the cards are not serial-numbered, only 2400 Jumbos were produced.

This 18-card set was randomly inserted into packs. According to OPC, only 5000 copies of each card were produced, although the cards are not serial-numbered.

NOTE: Cards from this set without the red foil stamping on the front and the gold foil stamping on the back are known to exist. It is believed that these cards may have been backdoored.
