Getting a couple of 76-77 OPC wants out of the way

Within the orders that I had placed on COMC over the past couple of weeks came a pair of cards to knock down a hockey want list for a change.

I would love for Upper Deck to start using these types of team leader cards in their modern sets.  OPC would be the natural place for them to land, since the set size is so large.  They could even get away with it in the base set, put half of the teams in series 1, and the other half in series 2.

Anyone ever notice with these team leaders cards that there aren't goalies included?  Wonder why that is...

1990-91 OPC added to the want list

You're going to see a few posts like this over the next few weeks.  As I continue the great monster box clean out and clean up, I'm going to add some of these 90's sets to the want list on the off chance that someone out there may have some cards that are taking up space.   Space that is probably better suited for cards that fit in their collection.

Here's a scan to jostle your memory if the 90-91 OPC design doesn't ring a bell...

This was the first of two consecutive O-Pee-Chee sets that contained 528 cards, larger than any other release from the company.  No one series set even came close to this size until Upper Deck started releasing O-Pee-Chee sets in 2006-07.

I need quite a few cards to complete the set, 166 in fact, but it's a cool looking set and I would enjoy finishing it.

More of these types of posts to come, stay tuned.
