Trading cards

The O-Pee-Chee Company, Ltd. was a Canadian confectionery company founded in 1911 based in London, Ontario.[1] O-Pee-Chee was best known as a maker of trading cards. It entered into a marketing agreement with the Topps Company in 1958, releasing several collections of baseball, gridiron football and ice hockey cards.

O-Pee-Chee's candy business was sold to Nestlé in 1996. The O-Pee-Chee name was licensed by Topps, and later Upper Deck, which continues to use it for hockey cards to the present day.
