About this card
Guy Lafleur’s 1971 O-Pee-Chee Hockey card is number 148 in that release. O-Pee-Chee, based in London, Ontario, printed Canadian hockey cards for decades, often using Topps designs with bilingual English and French text. Upper Deck now makes cards under the O-Pee-Chee name.
The catalog labels this a rookie card, based on the source cited below.
How to identify it
An O-Pee-Chee card and the Topps card of the same year can look nearly identical. Check the back for the O-Pee-Chee name and bilingual text, because the two are separate issues.

Raw / ungraded
- Match the issue
- Match the full year or season, release, number and named edition to this reference. Ask for readable images of the actual item’s front and back.
- Record visible condition
- Inspect corners, edges, centering and surface in suitable photographs or in person. Record damage or unanswered questions without assigning a predicted professional grade.
- Keep authentication separate
- Ungraded does not establish authenticity or mean “never authenticated.” A protective case alone does not establish a professional condition grade.
Professionally graded
- Read the complete label
- Record the grading company, exact issue, card grade and any qualifiers or designation. Keep an autograph grade separate from the card’s condition grade. An authentication-only designation may have no numeric condition grade.
- Compare the certification record
- Use the company’s official lookup and compare its issue details and available images with the actual item, label and holder. A matching certification number alone does not establish that an offered item is genuine.
- Compare within the stated scale
- Retain the company’s exact grade name and number. Different companies and grade designations are not automatically equivalent; a numeric label does not establish a current price.
A source-linked reference or historical scan does not authenticate the card you are considering. CardRoster supplies no assigned grade, certification or price for it.
