O-Pee-Chee isn't odd but were a rarity when buying packs way back. I do remember a small newspaper/candy store that had both Topps & OPC hockey wax packs.

And when I say unlicensed, I mean cards that aren't Graded by Beckett.

I may have misused the term "oddball." I was thinking along the lines of "out of the ordinary," whether licensed or not. Basically just stuff you don't see every day.

O Pee Chee is not oddball to me. I have a bunch of them. I agree with Nolan5000 is its not in the Beckett almanac or OPG its considered as oddball

[nyyankeesfan28]

Yeah, doesn't seem oddball to me either, waynetalger.

Tough one . . . There's not too much that I consider odd ball anymore.

1976/77 Wiffle discs are probably the best I can come up with from my collection. I used to wear Wiffle balls out pretty steadily, go to the corner pharmacy in Cranford, NJ, and buy new ones w/ Thurman Munson on the box and one disc inside.

Not cards but drank a lot of RC Cola and Slurpees from 7-11 to collect the player cans and cups.

Put the dogs in the kennel and broke out the scanner. Here's a few of many I have.

Those are some good ones, zeprock!

In response to a PM request, here are some of my Nolan Ryan oddball cards.
