One Card Post - Mistaken Identity

What:  1971-72 O-Pee-Chee #44 - Bob Nevin
Where: eBay
How Much?:  $1.00 (free combined shipping)

Why?:  This one came with the Parkhurst Ed Sandford I showed some time back, the seller offered free shipping for any other cards tacked on to the order.  I honestly bought this one because it was in basically mint shape, and because I needed it for my '71-72 Topps set.  The thing is...

...I didn't pay attention and it's an O-Pee-Chee card.  I'm still satisfied with my dollar spent however, as it's my very first '71-72 OPC.  I had no idea they had completely different backs than their Topps counterparts that year (with cartoons!).  Worth a buck to discover that fact alone...

    Card was well worth the dollar spent. The fact that Nevin was one of a few NHLers to wear contact lenses is priceless.

    That's weird. The O-Pee-Chee has all the same stuff plus the two sentences in French and yet they managed to make the cartoon bigger. I think I like it better than the Topps.
