Outstanding original cut-card case of 1987 O-Pee-Chee baseball cards. Cut-card cases were assembled by Topps using pristine cards directly from the factory which were then arranged in tightly packed rows inside of a plain cardboard box. A typical cut-card case contains more than 8,000 cards. This method of distribution spared the cards from exposure to gum or wax inside of packs and generally yields some of the finest cards available from a given year. The case comes shrink-wrapped by Baseball Card Exchange (owned by Steve Hart, the foremost expert on unopened material). The "factory-sealed" distinction is particularly important and makes the offered case even more impressive. O-Pee-Chee baseball cards were issued regionally only in Canada and are much rarer than their American counterparts. The 1987 O-Pee-Chee set includes rookie cards of Barry Bonds and Will Clark, and key cards of Clemens, Ripken, and Ryan. Original factory seals intact with very minimal outer box wear. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Opening Bid $1,000.
