vintage questions

[tmlfan67]

Hi folks,
Going through a ton of old Leaf cards and having difficulty figuring out if they are OPC or Topps. They are all early 70's and cant remember if there is a trick to knowing which is which. Most say TCG and printed in the USA, are these all topps? And does the colour have anything to do with it?

Will get a list together because I have many dups, and make them available here.

Thanks,
Dan

if you look at the OPC sets say from 1969-70 up to 74-75 they would say OPC PTD in Canada, be bilingual and have light coloured backs, except 73-74 had dark and light

The Topps version would say TPS printed in USA and be English only and would usually have dark grey card backs

TCG = Topps Chewing Gum English only Printed in USA
OPC = O-Pee-Chee Bilingual Printed in Canada

Dan, I'm interested in your dups.

Thanks guys, very helpful. Here is one for you. I have 2 Leaf team checklists, both have the same picture on the front. One has a green back and says TCG 1976, while the other has a light brown back and says TCG 1975.

And I thought todays parallels were confusing.

Drift - ill send you a pm when I get them sorted.
