Completely Red: 1978 O-Pee-Chee

This is a cool complete team set. Love me some O-Pee-Chee. The Canadians chose only 242 of the 726 Topps cards to produce with the coveted 'Printed in Canada' line, and the Reds landed on 15 of em. I'm fairly certain every one of these came from various COMC orders, which is teeming with OPC, on occasion, when some canuck throws his collection on the site. I seem to end up with a few 70's OPC every other order or so. Here's all the 78's, with scans of the backs, which are obviously the best part.

STATS:

Cards - 15

RC's - 2 (Paul Moskau, Doug Capilla)

All Stars - 7 (George Foster, Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Tom Seaver, Ken Griffey, Joe Morgan, Dave Concepcion)

Hall of Famers - 3 (Johnny Bench, Tom Seaver, Joe Morgan)

Reds Hall of Famers - 10 (Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Dave Concepcion, George Foster, Ken Griffey, Tom Seaver, Cesar Geronimo, Pedro Borbon, Dan Driessen)

Checklist:

2 Home Run Leaders DP George Foster Jim Rice
3 RBI Leaders George Foster Larry Hisle
11 Doug Capilla
32 Cesar Geronimo
50 Johnny Bench
70 George Foster
84 Dan Driessen
100 Pete Rose DP
120 Tom Seaver
140 Ken Griffey
160 Joe Morgan
181 Paul Moskau
199 Pedro Borbon
220 Dave Concepcion
240 Pete Rose RB

Go Reds.
