1990–91 O-Pee-Chee Premier Hockey Factory Sealed Complete Set – Canadian Edition – 1st Year Release – From OPC Prepacks

Item Description:

This listing is for One (1) Factory-Sealed Complete Set of 1990–91 O-Pee-Chee Premier Hockey Cards — the highly sought-after debut year of O-Pee-Chee’s Premier line. This Canadian-printed version features bilingual English/French text and was produced in smaller quantities than its U.S. Topps counterpart.

The 1990–91 O-Pee-Chee Premier Hockey set is one of the most iconic hockey releases of the early ‘90s boom, loaded with Hall of Famers and rookie cards that remain in strong demand with collectors today.

Notice the heavy plastic on these particular O-Pee-Chee Factory Sets. These came from their 1^st printing that was released in what was known as O-Pee-Chee Prepacks for the Confectionary trade. We had ordered the maximum number of cases allowed which added up to several skids of Prepacks. We opened many of the cases and sold the boxes of candy separate, and sold most of the Factory Sets to some customers that were on the waiting list.  There were 2 different main deliveries of the Prepacks, and the 2^nd one the plastic may have been thinner.

A cornerstone release for any vintage hockey collection — especially for OPC Premier set builders and PSA registry collectors. It is reported that one has a slightly better chance to pull better graded cards from this factory set then regular packs.
