1973-74 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Forum

Kind of related/unrelated, but had someone insist that a binder similar to this somehow exponentially increases the value of the set (together) What made it crazy to me, that the complete set can be bought for 6 bucks,(today) and the binder was 6 bucks in 1990.(have never looked for one now) I would assume that most people would "overpay" to get both today, but Ive seen people ask anywhere from 250-700 for the base set and binder.

LOL Classic!  

Most people didn't get the binders so they are genuinely rarer than the cards...the original MSRP really isn't all that relevant. And even if they did get them, not many were kept in good condition so a pristene one is a legitimate "find"

It took me three reads to realize what the point was of the thread, man I've been in a fog lately.

The card stock was so bad for this set that if you touched them with your hands you'd had a 50-50 chance of causing some sort of damage (ding in the corner, crease down the middle etc.). If you ever look this set up in say a Beckett you will see the term "Condition Sensitive" and for good reason. Those sets you saw for $6 would probably disintegrate if you looked at them for too long! Maybe the album offers some kind of protection? Plus being offered on the back of series 2 packs only I am thinking there are not many out there.
