Puck Junk Podcast: 1975-76 Topps & O-Pee-Chee Hockey Setrospective

Episode #229: November 5, 2025

Sal Barry and Clemente Lisi take a long look back at the 1975-76 Topps and O-Pee-Chee Hockey card sets, which were released 50 years ago. They discuss the best cards, top rookies – there’s not many! – and worst “paint jobs” the sets have. Plus, a look ahead at two major card conventions and an upcoming game-worn hockey jersey expo. It’s 95 minutes of hockey goodness. The YouTube version of the podcast features photos and video.
