Description
A 5-card lot from the 1991 O-Pee-Chee Premier set, the Canadian equivalent to Topps Stadium Club. Cards feature a high-gloss finish, gold foil 'Premier' logo, and bilingual English/French text on the front and back. Players include All-Stars/Fan Favorites: Willie Wilson (Athletics), Dave Stieb (Blue Jays), Willie Fraser (Blue Jays), Lance Dickson (Cubs), and Kirk Gibson (Royals).
Key Features
O-Pee-Chee Premier was a 'premium' offering with lower production runs than standard O-Pee-Chee sets. Features iconic players like Kirk Gibson and Blue Jays legend Dave Stieb.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This set is rarely counterfeited. Indicators include high-gloss UV coating, gold foil stamping that reacts to light, and O-Pee-Chee's distinct 'rough' card stock edges on the reverse.
Flaws to Note
Significant top-to-bottom centering issues on the Stieb and Fraser cards. Surface scratches are common on this high-gloss card stock. Being stored loose without sleeves significantly risks surface and edge wear.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as a 'Team Lot' on eBay or as 'Common/Stars' filler on COMC. Local card shops would likely only buy these for very low bulk prices.
Selling Tips
Do not grade these cards; the market value for these specific players does not justify the $20+ grading fee. Sell the Blue Jays players together as a lot to Canadian collectors to maximize interest. Always use penny sleeves and top loaders to prevent further surface damage.
