1998-99 Topps O-Pee-Chee Basketball PLEASE HELP!!!!

[mike_bibby]

Hello I am in desperate need for an answer here.... I have every Mike Bibby Rookie card #ed 2 or more just picked up the Holy Grail of Bibby RCs Essential Credential Gold Future (04/05)... Anyway I have concerns about one listed on Beckett.com its the 98-99 Topps O-Pee-Chee #196. I have never seen this year basketball in a O-Pee-Chee version, but could be possible. Please let me know of anything anybody knows about these cards. Thanks a lot!!!! Happy Holidays everyone!

there is an O-Pee-Chee Version Existing for all 98/99 Topps series 1 cards. They were inserted in Canadian Retail Packs. The difference is that there is an O-Pee-Chee Logo instead of the regular Topps logo on the card. They look like this one:

Cards from series two might not exist. All collectors i know, have never seen one. So your collection should be complete at this point, because the Bibby O-Pee-Chee does not exist.

WOW!!! Thank you so much for this answer (exactly what I have been looking for; for 12+ years!!) You just made my day by letting me know that series 2 do not exist!! Thanks again and have a great day and new year!

It was the same thing for me and my collection of Michael Dickerson, the O Pee Chee was in my wantlist, and now it wasn't anymore. )

Very nice... i see you almost got your Dickerson collection done... Very impressive! I wish he would have stayed in the league longer... Him and Bibby at UofA was amazing to watch!! Have a good day!
