1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Cards

1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Cards

Product Details

User Rating:

For the first time in a quarter century, Topps declined to produce a set of hockey cards in 1982-83. That made O-Pee Chee the only maker of hockey cards for the first time since before World War II. However, a cursory look at the design shows that Topps likely would have copied it and made a slightly smaller set, just as they had been doing in previous years. Even without its former counterpart, 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Hockey went ahead and stayed with its 396-card set size and the inserts that had grown to become standard.

1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Hockey card fronts feature a player photo that was usually taken during game play. Above the player is a solid-colored box that contains his name and his position in two languages. A solid-colored border surrounds the box and picture, and contains the team name at the very top. A team logo appears in the lower right corner of the picture, and a white border surrounds the entire card.

Backs are oriented horizontally. An enlarged oval area stretching across the top contains a card number, the player's name, position and team name and an O-Pee-Chee logo. The rest of the back is divided into two parts. The right side contains a team-related fact in both French and English. The left side begins with the player's vital stats and a year-by-year career record. A bilingual biography appears in areas where they can fit.

Cards are generally arranged in team order, with off-season trades noted on the fronts. The first five cards in 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Hockey show highlights from the previous season. Cards 235 through 243 name the league leaders in several categories, and each team has its own card showing its leaders in several categories. There are a number of "In Action" cards scattered throughout the set, numbered right behind that player's base card. There are also three checklist cards in the set.

The key rookies in 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Hockey include Dale Hawerchuk, Brent Sutter, Grant Fuhr, Neal Broten, Ron Francis, Joe Mullen and Thomas Steen.
