1977 O-Pee-Chee Star Wars trading cards have a familiarity about them. In many ways, the set is extremely close to Topps’ offering. In some ways, it’s quite different.

This was the case with plenty of sets for decades in hockey, baseball and other areas of sports and entertainment. The Canadian company sub-licensed products through Topps. Basically, Topps did the design work and much of the heavy lifting then O-Pee-Chee made minor tweaks and distributed their products across Canada.

1977 O-Pee-Chee Star Wars Trading Cards Overview

1977 O-Pee-Chee Star Wars trading cards maintain the same general design as their Topps counterparts. That starts with the 66-card Series 1 and its iconic blue starfield borders. Ensuing series change up the border color.

Card backs stick with what Topps used. This means a mix of puzzle pieces and text-based themes like Movie Facts and Story Summary.

The biggest difference with the O-Pee-Chee cards is the text. Because the cards were intended for a Canadian audience, they’re bilingual with both English and French.

O-Pee-Chee cards also notorious for having rough edges and poor centering.

The 1977 O-Pee-Chee Star Wars checklist has 264 total cards spread across three series. This is significantly smaller than Topps’ five releases totaling 330 cards. The first two match up the same. But then things change. Series 3 for O-Pee-Chee is a double-sized combination of Topps’ Series 4 and 5 sets. That means Canadians got none of Topps Series 3 sets. 1977 O-Pee-Chee Star Wars Series 3 uses the orange border from Topps’ final set.

And for those that are curious, the O-Pee-Chee version of the infamous C-3PO card is not the obscene one. Rather, it’s the “corrected” version.

1977 O-Pee-Chee Star Wars does have stickers. There doesn’t appear to be any discernible difference from the Topps versions, though. There is a gap in the checklist where Topps Series 3 would have been, so there are no #23-33 for the O-Pee-Chee stickers.

As far as rarity goes, production numbers aren’t known. However, O-Pee-Chee Star Wars cards are definitely more scarce than Topps.
