Lot #120: 1971 O-Pee-Chee OPC Baseball Joe Torre HOF Yankees Rookie

This lot features 9 original cards from the rare 1971 O-Pee-Chee (OPC) set. While they share the iconic black-bordered design of the US Topps set, these Canadian versions were produced in much smaller quantities and are identified by the "Printed in Canada" text on the reverse and brighter card stock. Included Cards: Joe Torre (Cardinals - 3rd Base) – Hall of Fame. This OPC version is a significant find from his 1971 NL MVP season. 1971 Rookie Stars - Yankees (L. Colson / B. Mitchell) – Key OPC Rookie. Much harder to find in the Canadian variant than the standard Topps version. Nate Colbert (Padres - 1st Base) – San Diego's all-time HR leader. Tony Gonzalez (Angels - Outfield) Nelson Briles (Cardinals - Pitcher) Roy Foster (Indians - Outfield) – 1970 AL Rookie of the Year. Bill Sudakis (Dodgers - 3b/Catcher) John Strohmayer (Expos - Pitcher) – Canadian Team Favorite. Bob Humphreys (Brewers - Pitcher) Pickup category timeslot {A}
