Default 1933 O Pee Chee Baseball???

Posted By: Rhett Yeakley

I have seen evidence in the past that the "Canadian Butterfingers" were actually a product of O-Pee-Chee (which is how I have mine listed on my website), but I can't remember exactly what it was, but I think it may have been an envelope as described by the initial poster. The only thing linking these "cards" to the American Butterfingers is that they share a large percentage of their checklists and photos. The Canadians are much smaller and much tougher, and regardless of what the guide books may say, they are more desirable. Several players (like the Fresco Thompson shown below) are found only in the Canadian set.
