Year: 1970

“ OPC had worse quality control than it's Topps version, but it's still nice to see an old Expo. ” -olerud363

“ Nice '70's card. It's good to see a card on RCOD that's not mint , that actually looks like someone look at it more than once. ” -uncaian

“ I love the retro facts with the comic on vintage cards. This is also a great simple front. Bonus for OpeeChee of coursec! ” -rmpaq5

“ BRING BACK THE EXPOS! ” -carthage44

“ Love it. Ah Smell the vintage! Nice card even with the extreme off-centering toward miscutting. The fact is is OPC means it is an even rarer mistake just in terms of volume made. ” -captkirk42

“ I was never a fan of 1970 Topps design. I much more prefer the clean, standard block font and black border of the 1971 Topps design and the also very nice looking 1969 design. 70 just doesn't do it for me. This also marked the first set in which Topps did not use white borders. Nowadays, Topps just says darn it, no more borders! ” -Slug03

“ Pretty good centering and cut for a 70s OPC card!! ” -UKboogie

“ Love the older stuff!!! I don't think I knew the Expos were around in 70. For some reason I thought they came in 76. I need to go brush up on my history! ” -muskie027

“ Renko looks 6'-5", 230 pounds and somewhat menacing. ” -Sportzcommish

Another of my OPC submissions. Love OPC baseball due to the scarcity yet possibility of obtaining all of the cards from 1965 to 1994 (if I would have to list my collecting goals, that would be the #1).

I swear more OPC vintage cards appear as RCOTD than regular Topps cards. Weird. I confess, I had no idea the OPC even existed until I joined this site.

I miss the Expos, although their stadium was terrible and, thanks to their demise, I now have the Nats to root for as a backup to my beloved Cubs, for whom Renko pitched for a bit. I don't particularly miss Steve Renko, though.

Carthage, I agree, bring back the 'Spos, I was at the final game in Montreal and would absolutely be at the first if they come back ------------------------------- lennoxmatt
