Description

1981 O-Pee-Chee is a 374-card abridgement of the 1981 Topps set, made for the Canadian market. In a practice begun in 1977 and continued to 1988, the set features a higher ratio of cards of players from the two Canadian teams. Biography, major league statistics, and career highlights in both French and English also appear. In cases where a player changed teams or was traded before press time, a small line of print on the obverse makes note of the change.

Double-printed (DP) cards are also noted below.

The card backs are typically found printed on white card stock. There is, however, a "variation" set printed on gray card stock.

Notable Rookie Cards include Harold Baines, Kirk Gibson and Tim Raines.
