Best of the 70s #11 – 1976-77 OPC WHA

Posted on June 4, 2014 by 1967ers

It has been a long time since I’ve done one of these and I think a big reason for it is that I have this set in the wrong place.  Part of each write-up involves justifying (at least to myself) … Continue reading →

Best of the 70s #12 – 1976-77 OPC NHL

Posted on January 14, 2013 by 1967ers

I’ve always found this set a little exotic.  When I was a kid, I managed to trade my way into a least one card of every ’70s set from 1971-79 except for this one.  It just never seemed to come … Continue reading →

This is sort of an odd set to write up in that it’s the only one of these profiles for a set I haven’t finished.  I have the grand total of six of these cards, so a lot of the … Continue reading →

Best of the 70s #15 – 1974-75 OPC WHA

Best of the 70s #16 – 1973-74 Quaker Oats WHA

Posted on April 20, 2012 by 1967ers

I tend to be of the mindset that anything that I can’t really explain about why something was or wasn’t produced in cards is probably tied to licensing issues.  I have no other reason to explain why there was no … Continue reading →

Best sets of the 70s #17 – 1977-78 OPC

Posted on April 13, 2012 by 1967ers

This is a little project I’ve been wanting to tackle for a while.  I just needed to build up a better scan library and get through the ranking process in my head.  I’ve seen a number of different attempts to … Continue reading →
