...junk wax timeline

Throughout the 1970s and '80s there were two hockey card sets produced each year - a Topps set for the US market, and an O-Pee-Chee set licenced for the Canadian market. In 1990-91 that balooned to seven, and by 1991-92 there were seventeen, and nobody was counting the print runs. Below you'll find some of the major events and stats chronicalling the Junk Wax era, one season at a time.
