This 1971-72 O-Pee-Chee Yvan Cournoyer #260 presents with great "eye appeal" despite its technical flaws:
This 1971-72 O-Pee-Chee Yvan Cournoyer #260 presents with great "eye appeal" despite its technical flaws:
- Surface & Creasing: There are small, visible creases along the top edge of the card. While they do not break the surface entirely, they are the primary factor in the revised grade.
- Centering: The centering is strong for this set, which is notorious for poor "hacked and whacked" cuts. It slightly favors the left but remains very attractive.
- Corners & Edges: The corners show typical "fuzzing" and softening consistent with a mid-grade vintage card. The edges feature the classic O-Pee-Chee rough cut, confirming its 1971 Canadian origin.
- Back: Features the clean, O-Pee-Chee bilingual (English/French) back, which is free of the common gum stains often found in this series.
Grade Estimate:
VG-EX 4 (Very Good-Excellent). The top-edge creases and corner wear prevent a higher technical grade, but the strong centering keeps it a highly collectible "entry-level" vintage star card.
