1968-69 O Pee Chee Hockey set

1968-69 O-Pee-Chee Hockey saw the company issue its own separate set in Canada, rather than producing and distributing their cards under the Topps name. From this point forward, the sets would be differentiated between the two countries with O-Pee-Chee's being larger and having more subset and specialty cards than the Topps version (though many player photos were identical). Also, because they were printed in Canada, the backs would be written in two languages while Topps' cards would carry English-only text. The rookie card of Bernie Parent appears in this set. Set grades about EX/MT with the usual problematic centering issues for this set(particularly in the first series--#1-132).Second series cards (#133-216)boasted a bonus All-Star Pushout 22 card insert set (sometimes referred to as a Puck Sticker). A card paying tribute to Gordie Howe's 700th goal is also included in the puck sticker set.
I have included my Puck Sticker set after the Regular issue set below. I also have the complete 1968-69 Topps NHL Hockey set in Near Mint condition and have included a scan of the Topps Bobby Orr to represent that set.
