1990 OPC Hockey Errors
#1

1990 OPC Hockey Errors
I did some searching and came up with nothing on this but I have a bunch of 1990 O-Pee-Chee Hockey with errors. It's a total of eight cards but I may have a ninth somewhere. The errors occur in pairs with one card featuring the reverse of the obverse of its mate. It's also upside down. For example:

Tom Barrasso on front, Mark Osborne on back (flip on short edge)
Mark Osborne on front, Tom Barrasso on back (again, flip on short edge)

I also have:

Jim Johnson/Garth Butcher
Zarley Zalapski/Michal Pivoka
Dale Hawerchuk/Tony Tanti
Troy Loney (Missing Alan Kerr for the pair)

Has anyone seen these or should I get them ready to auction at Sotheby's? Smile

A scan doesn't really help but I will take one when I get a chance.

Not errors but misprints-- they got the backs wrong on a whole sheet of cards-- not uncommon for '80s OPC.

Yes, misprints is a much more appropriate word. At least they went all out for it. Not only did they get the wrong backs but they got them upside down. Now that's screwing it up with style!
