1971 claude raymond

here's (one of) claude raymond's 1971 o-pee-chee cards:

here's the front of his (only) topps card from that year:

now the o-pee-chee back:

and the topps back:

now, while this may appear to be a clear cut case of a photo variation, it is not. not really.  that's because raymond has two cards in the 1971 o-pee-chee set.  o-pee-chee inserted the native canadian into an earlier series at the expense of this card (perhaps in an anti-communist protest of sorts)

with its stats on the back

raymond also had a card, identical to the photo on the topps issue, in the later series at 536, just like in the topps set.  thus, no photo variation.  unfortunately, i don't own a copy of the latter o-pee-chee card, but since it's not a variation i'm not too stressed about it.

voici à vous, 1971 claude raymond!  the checklist variation claude raymond.  not the same as topps claude raymond.
