1971 O-Pee-Chee Partridge Family #39 “Feeling Groovy!” David Cassidy Vital Statistics Bio Back Yellow Series 1

Description

1971 O-Pee-Chee Partridge Family #39 "Feeling Groovy!" David Cassidy Vital Statistics Bio Back Yellow Series 1 Card #39, "Feeling Groovy!", delivers exactly the kind of dreamy, close-cropped David Cassidy portrait that fueled a thousand bedroom-wall shrines in 1971, all soft focus and easy smile against a hazy green outdoor backdrop. This card pairs its charming front with one of the most fan-favorite reverse designs in the entire yellow-bordered Series 1 set, "David Cassidy's Vital Statistics," a tongue-in-cheek fact card listing his birthday, height, weight, hair and eye color, marital status, and even his Laurel Canyon home address in Hollywood, the exact kind of personal detail teen magazines of the era thrived on and that made Cassidy feel accessible to millions of young fans. This subset blended straightforward performance photography with more intimate bio cards to give the 55-card checklist real collecting depth beyond simple show stills. The reverse also completes a piece of "Puzzle No. 1," linking this card into the broader composite jigsaw image spread across select cards in the release. This is the O-Pee-Chee issue, confirmed by the "Ptd. in Canada" notation at the bottom of the reverse, a scarcer variant than the standard U. S. Topps release and a genuinely fun conversation piece for any Cassidy-focused collection. the front portrait is soft and warm with good color fidelity in the green background and floral shirt collar. Corners present well overall, with only light rounding at the top-left corner and a small paper crimp visible at the bottom-left tip of the yellow border, both minor and not affecting the black photo frame. Centering leans slightly, with the right-hand border running narrower than the left, though the image remains fully contained with no cropping into the black frame. The surface is clean with no creases or writing, and the "Vital Statistics" text on the reverse is crisp and fully legible with strong contrast throughout. Weighing the light corner and border wear against strong overall eye appeal, a conservative raw grade of EX-MT 6 is the fair assessment. A must-have novelty card for David Cassidy collectors who love the personal, magazine-style detail on the back. Grade Estimate: EX-MT 6
