I am working on cardinals team sets in opc and have seen a few cool surprises in opc of players not in the Topps set, sometimes in another team uni with trade statement on front. Mark

There are 3 additional OPC exclusive RC for the Draft Picks in that set. The Blue Jays ones are Derek Bell and Alex Sanchez. I can't remember who the second Expo was.

Best one is the Gil Hodges 1972 card that has his Deceased date on the front. The 1988 OPC set also has an Expos Delino Deshields RC that Topps does not have in their set.

On top of the occasional image variation many OPC sets will have cards with traded or similar statements (Now With...) on them to reflect player movement that Topps didn't get, likely due to timing of the print runs.

There are also some with the same picture but it is cropped differently, like the 1977 Topps Nolan Ryan and the OPC Nolan Ryan. ------------------------------- <Insert Signature Here>
