Way back in 1985 I did not collect any O-Pee-Chee cards. In fact, I think I might have had one or two of them in collection and had no idea what to do with them. As an adult, I love the 1980s O-Pee-Chee cards. Really, how many 1985 Topps sets do I need in my collection? I think there are several copies, probably do not need any more, but these O-Pee-Chee cards keep things interesting.
They are like a hybrid of the regular Topps card and the Topps Traded cards.
I wish I could make some sort of cool graphic where the two cards merge together and form the O-Pee-Chee card. I am not that talented. I imagine it would like that episode of The Simpsons where the Japanese cleaning company is using a likeness of Homer, and he discovers they created it by merging together an image of a light bulb and a fish.
Flip over to the back of the card......
John Tudor's stat line was not interesting until he got to the Cardinals. I like the dual language labels in both French and English. Always fun 1980s cards to collect.
I wasn't a fan of OPC baseball products until a few years ago. Now I get pumped when I can add a 70's or 80's OPC rookie card or star player to my collection. As for Tudor... he sure had some amazing seasons in STL.
