Condition Details
The centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom left border. Corners look sharp with minimal rounding visible. Surface shows no immediate signs of creasing or heavy scratching in the scan.
Grading Recommendation
Potentially worth grading if the back is clean and centering is within 60/40. O-Pee-Chee cards of this era are notoriously difficult to find in high grades due to rough factory cuts and poor centering.
Card Description
Features a member of the Soviet Central Red Army team (CSKA Moscow) in a dynamic skating pose. This set commemorated the team's participation in international exhibition games.
Notable Features
Features the Hammer and Sickle logo prominently on the side banner. O-Pee-Chee cards from this year feature rougher 'wired' edges compared to their Topps counterparts.
Authentication Notes
The O-Pee-Chee logo in the bottom right and the specific card stock texture are consistent with 1978 production. Check for the typical 'rough cut' edges which are a hallmark of authentic O-Pee-Chee cards.
