The American Card Catalog first came out in 1937 and saw considerable growth over the years, leading to its last edition in 1960. This explains why many cards from 1960 onward are unc, since the book was not revised after that. The V category was the destination for Canada Candy.

Basic Features
In 1970, OPC cards were produced in a bilingual format, featuring card backs in both English and French, along with the phrase "Printed in Canada." Aside from this, they were essentially identical to the standard 1970 Topps cards. The front side showcases color photographs of players set against a gray border, complemented by thin white borders. Beneath each photo, the player's name and position are displayed, while the team name is positioned at the top of the image. The horizontal backs provide player biographies and statistics in both French and English. Notably, the card stock for the O-Pee-Chee cards is a darker shade of yellow on the reverse side, making them significantly harder to find compared to regular Topps cards.
