- This series was basically a Canadian reissue of the U.S. series 3rd Series Topps from 1973.
- However there are only 24 titles, six titles from the U.S. 3rd series did not make it into the Canadian version.
- We're not 100% sure this came out in 1973 and not 1974, there are no dates on the box, pack or stickers, or even code numbers that infer a date.
- As in the U.S. 3rd Series, the stickers were released with both tan and white backs.
- However unlike in the U.S. series, the tan backs are the rare variation in the OPC series.
- In fact tan backs of this series are among the most difficult of all original Wacky Packs to find. The uncut sheet, which has never been seen, must have a large variation between the number of occurrences of the different titles. So, for example, Lova is not that hard to find, relatively speaking, while Sledge is nearly impossible to find.
- There are two versions of the checklists.
- The front of the checklists make up a Beanball Puzzle, as in the U.S. 3rd Series.
- This puzzle is unique, however, in that it is the only puzzle from any original series that has black border.
- We're not quite sure exactly what box was used for this series. It seems possible however that this box contained 3rd series OPC.
