Again, just a theory.

This doesn't explain them being non-sticker backs. It is likely a salesman sample. OPC probably printed the full non-adhesive sheets, chopped them down and sent them out with their sales people.

Plus, uncut sheets of 80s O-Pee-Chee (or Topps) stickers are not common at all, in fact, I can only recall seeing one severely beat 1989 sheet which suggests to me that it was a dumpster "find" and it had the adhesive sticker backs.
