🇨🇦⚾️ The Unique 1984 O-Pee-Chee Baseball Rack Packs

O-Pee-Chee produced its own card sets starting in the 1930s. But, they really started having commercial success after signing a licensing agreement with Topps in 1958, after which they promoted baseball, football, and hockey card sets. During that run, 1984 was the only year OPC issued baseball cards in rack packs, though they did issue wax pack racks in 1980.
