Barry Larkin
Year: 1991
Year: 1991
Brand: O-Pee-Chee
Card number: 400
The French version of Topps, 1991 O-Pee-Chee was basically a direct parallel or copy of the 1991 Topps flagship set (with the notable addition of the French text being the only real difference). Heck, the card fronts even sport the same "Topps 40 Years of Baseball" logo! You'd be forgiven for overlooking the O-Pee-Chee cards in your collection of 1991 Topps if you were to sort through the stacks quickly (though the card backs are a bit lighter so that's kind of a giveaway).
I wonder how many collectors were aware of all the parallels/variations in sets 30 years ago. You have Topps, Topps Tiffany, O-Pee-Chee.. then the dark/light back Topps, then the Desert Storm stamped parallels. And then there's all those damn Donruss variations. I dont even think I saw OPC singles back then. The backs sure do look nicer - and there's no light/dark variations on those (..there's not... right?)
