Description

1968 O-Pee-Chee is a 196-card set done in the style of the 1968 Topps set for the Canadian market. Unlike future OPC baseball sets, the cards are only in English. The only determinant between Topps and OPC are the words "PTD. IN CANADA" on the back of each card.

Notable rookies include Nolan Ryan.

Distribution

24 packs per box, five cards plus one Poster and one stick of gum per pack (MSRP: C$0.05).

NOTE: '68 OPC boxes are identical to '68 Topps boxes, even having the Topps "fish hook" logo on the front panel. The side panel on the OPC box should indicate the exclusive posters, and the bottom should indicate that it was manufactured by O-Pee-Chee.
