The 1980 O-Pee-Chee set came in at just a little better than 50% of the Topps set. So did the Cubs set. OPC included players from the entire Topps set, so some of the Cubs have new card numbers. They seemed to pick the bigger names and left out players like Steve Dillard, Miguel Dilone, Doug Capilla, and Lynn McGlothen. I doubt that any Canadian Cub fans felt slighted that they couldn't have a card of any of those players.
Set Size: O-Pee-Chee - 374, Topps 726
Cubs in set: O-Pee-Chee - 14, Topps 26
The fronts are identical.
It looks like OPC used a lighter colored cardboard. Otherwise, the differences on the back are the usuals.
