Founded originally as a confectionery company in London, Ontario, O-Pee-Chee began producing its legendary hockey card sets in the 1930s. Following World War II, the company entered a historic marketing partnership with Topps, allowing O-Pee-Chee to manufacture and distribute hockey sets featuring distinct Canadian bilingual text variations, unique card stock attributes, and expanded multi-card checklists tailored directly to passionate hockey fans across Canada. The brand became an institutional staple of Canadian culture, capturing the complete physical record of the sport through the Golden Era and transforming simple schoolyard bubblegum inserts into some of the most secure, valuable financial assets in the modern collectibles hobby.The extensive manufacturer checklist spans decades of annual releases, providing incredible variety for specialized team collectors and master set builders.
