Baseball

Base Set

In 1983 O-Pee-Chee licenced a version of the Topps set. It was basically identical to the Topps set, however it only had 396 cards instead of the 792 in the Topps set and had the Topps branding replaced with O-Pee-Chee branding. The cards were printed on lighter grey cardstock, featured bilingual backs, and some had added traded lines. Player cards had a thin white border surrounding the player picture, with the team name appearing in a colored box angled up from the lower-left corner. Manager and team leaders cards for the Montreal Expos and Toronto Blue Jays were issued, but for no other teams. The cards featured, along with the action photo, a circular portrait inset in the lower corner on the front. O-Pee-Chee printed a light italic sans serif font replaced the Topps logo. Size: 2 ¹⁄₂ × 3 ¹⁄₂ in. A picture of a 1983 O-Pee-Chee Tony Gwynn rookie card can be found here. 1983 O-Pee-Chee Tony Gwynn
