I've finished up looking at the regular O-Pee-Chee cards, so let's move on to another of their sets.
Companies were trying to keep up with Upper Deck and their higher quality card, so in 1991 we saw the debut of Topps Stadium Club and Fleer Ultra. O-Pee-Chee entered the fray too, with a set called Premier.
This was the first time OPC produced their own baseball card set, a set not based on the Topps set. There were 132 card, and they came seven to a pack. The player's position on the front of the card was bilingual, as was all of the information on the back.
It was developed and sold exclusively to the Canadian market. Because of that, it was heavily slanted towards the Blue Jays and Expos. They make up 29 of the set, leaving the other 22 teams divided among 103 cards.
Having eight cards, the Cubs did fairly well.
