From the Series 2 packs you could send OPC $1.25 and get this album to keep your cards in;
Anyone else feeling violated?

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

I see your point. Hope there's no member that goes by O~Pee~Chee ...

I am thoroughly offended. (And yes, I just went through the trouble to make an account named O~Pee~Chee)

Could the $1.25 offer be in Canadian dollars, and the 69-cent price shown on the album itself be in US dollars? No idea what the conversion rate was back then, but that would offer one explanation.
UPDATE: I just realized that I was a killjoy here. Didn't mean to completely miss the humor of this post, heheh.
