1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Cards Checklist
Product Details
The NHL was in expansion mode for the 1972-73 season, and so was 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Hockey.
For the season, two new teams hit the ice, a new league appeared and OPC expanded its hockey set to 340 cards, which made it the largest hockey set the company had ever offered to that point.
1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Set Details
1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Hockey card fronts feature a player picture superimposed over a solid-colored background. A yellow stripe running below the picture features the player's name and a team logo. The team name runs vertically up the left side of the card and the area around the picture is entirely tan, which is an unusual color choice that works well.
On the back, an orange stripe runs across the back at the top and gives the card number as well as the player's name and position. A separate orange block at the left side contains vital stats and a cartoon about the player. Final touches include a bilingual biography and year-by-year statistics.
The 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Hockey set was issued in four series with the initial cards for the first-year Atlanta Flames and New York Islanders. The first series runs from cards #1 to #110 and the second includes cards #111 through #209. Each of these series is relatively plentiful and includes many double-printed cards. Series three contains cards #210 to #341, including the first WHA cards. There are also three checklist cards.
Looking at the 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Hockey subsets, there are several In Action cards that are scattered throughout the base set and six playoff cards are seeded in the first series. The third series highlights the previous season's NHL statistical leaders, while first-team All-Stars take cards #226 to #230 and second-team players show up on cards #247 to #250.
In addition, 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Hockey has three variations: cards #48 and #85 are found with different positions and the final checklist card can be found either with a complete list or with the last several cards listed as More WHA Stars.
Despite featuring new NHL teams and a new league, there are no notable rookie cards featured in 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Hockey.
Falling once per pack, inserts include Player Crests in the 1st Series, Team Canada in the 2nd Series and Team Logos in the 3rd Series.
