One Card Post - O-Pee-Chee Hoyt

What:  1971 O-Pee-Chee #248 - Hoyt Wilhelm
Where: COMC
How Much?:  $2.25

Why?:  You can't go wrong with '71 O-Pee-Chee.  I love the dugout shot on this card, and of course the classic O-Pee-Chee "RECENTLY TRADED TO..." designation.  The primary reason I was drawn to this card though was the same reason I am drawn to any '71 OPC...  

...floating head back!

A solid addition to my modest Hoyt Wilhelm collection if you ask me!  Not bad for just a couple bucks...

Hoyt is one of my favorite non-Mets to collect. I picked this one up many years ago and it's a real favorite. I've got the 1970 OPC as well, but it's not nearly as interesting.

1971 OPC backs are definitely up there in regards to card back designs. Truly beautiful.

Finding a '71 OPC or Topps of Hoyt in that kind of condition for a couple of bucks is a great pickup.

Great card! Pretty sure I still need to pick one up myself one of these days.

71 OPCs have the best backs, and it's not even close.
