Hey guys, forgive my ignorance, but I have a question about the 80s cards with the same artwork but different brands.
I've seen examples where the card looks exactly identical, such as an OPC / Topps version, or Donruss / Leaf version, but why are there identical cards in different brands? I grew up collecting 80s / 90s cards and don't seem to remember this.
I'm guessing Topps owned OPC and Donruss owned Leaf? But why would they release the same cards in those years and simply change the brand name on them? It doesn't make sense to me...
And I'm also guessing that OPC and Leaf versions are "rarer" and thus worth more than their Topps / Donruss counterparts?
Thanks in advance guys.
