THIS IS A VINTAGE TOPPS/O-PEE-CHEE CFL FOOTBALL CARD. BRIEF HISTORY OF VINTAGE TOPPS\OPC CFL CARDS:

• TOPPS PRODUCED CFL FOOTBALL CARDS FROM 1958 TO 1972 (SKIPPING THE YEARS 1966 & 1967 &1969).
• FROM 1958 TO 1960, THE ACTUAL FOOTBALL CARDS WERE PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES WITH COPYRIGHT SHOWING "T.C.G" (TOPPS CHEWING GUM)  "PRINTED IN THE USA"

•  FROM 1961 TO 1965, THEY WERE PRODUCED IN CANADA, AT O-PEE-CHEE, IN LONDON, ONTARIO - HOWEVER THEY STILL CARRIED THE "T.C.G" STAMP FOR PRODUCTION BUT SAID "PRINTED IN CANADA"

• FINALLY, IN 1968, AFTER A TWO YEAR ABSENCE, O-PEE-CHEE AGAIN ENTERED THE CFL MARKET. COPYRIGHT SHOWING "O.P.C" AND "PRINTED IN CANADA"
