These cards were not popular with most kids in the fall of 1964. First of all they did not fit neatly into your pocket the way standard sized cards did. Moreover I seem to remember that O-Pee-Chee raised the price of at least the 1st series in my neck of the woods from five cents for a pack of four cards to ten cents for a pack of six cards! As a result, they're much more difficult to find in nice shape than other Hockey cards from the mid-1960's and the 2nd series is particularly tough since kids weren't even buying them on a trial basis by the time the 2nd series was released. And certain cards were short printed on the sheet adding yet another measure of toughness these days.
