I appreciate it! EDIT: Meant to also ask, what are the general price differences normally between equally graded OPC and Topps hockey cards? Is it 2 X, 3X, or higher?

The OPC Ryan has a way nicer stock than the 71 Topps (see what I mean) but cruddy edges, corners and centering comparatively speaking.

I'm surprised you didn't hit on the amount of cards that were produced and sold? Not that everything you read is true, but I remember reading, because of our population up here compared to your's, the OPC numbers are a lot lower compared to Topps so that is also why OPC cards command a premium? However, I have seen sales of both Topps and OPC where that doesn't seem to be factored in sometimes but I always assume some people aren't aware of that?

I remember reading that OPC made about 5-10% the amount that Topps did. Thats Baseball, Hockey the amount is much higher.

Yeah that’s one of the wonderful paradoxes of OPC collecting. Chasing my 1971$ has been an endeavor even with the smaller set size. Though being in SoCal I don’t see them much locally.

Just following some recent listings of both OPC and Topps, it does seem that most are aware, not always, that OPC hockey cards do command a premium over Topps cards.

I Really like this thread, with one exception this line is wrong ....
" Howe dominated the game until a man by the name of Wayne Gretzky came along." In 1972 Gordie was 44 years old, he didnt do much dominating in the 70's But from 1970 - 1975 Bobby Orr did dominate the NHL |

What I meant was that Gretzky came along and broke all of Howe's records. He took away Gordie's crown. Yes, Orr was amazing, but for only a very short time. By the time he was 27 years old, he was done as a player. Howe, on the other hand, dominated the league for a long time. Afterwards, he played in the WHA and then went back to the NHL in his fifties! He could score, set up his team-mates, was good on the boards, excellent two-way player and was also an enforcer. I would take Howe over Orr anytime.

I remember an article years ago that unfortunately I cannot find but it was a comparison between Babe Ruth and Bobby Orr and who had the bigger impact on their respective sport. Orr won by a few percentage points. |
