NNO - Stan Mikita72-73 O-Pee-Chee Team Canada
(back)
These decapitated heads were inserted in packs of 72-73 O-Pee-Chee. I like them much better than the regular 72-73 OPC cards, though I think I would like this card even more if Mikita was wearing his trademark bulbous helmet.
Actually, this card probably ranks in my top ten favourite hockey cards, coincidentally with a couple of other cards that also feature people who have had their heads removed-- though in these cases they were reattached on someone else's body: 71-72 Rogie Vachon and Mike Corrigan.
Also notable in the category of cards featuring head transplants is the '74 Nabisco Sugar Daddy set that placed pro-athletes heads on cartoon bodies. Derek Sanderson's card is my favourite of that bunch.

Well, his full name is Stanislav, so I decided to let that slide.
Don't you just love the old Soviet flag, with the Hammer and Sickle on it, featuring so prominently on it?
I suspect this card with the Soviet flag on it wouldn't have been released in Topps, because for fear of them being labelled "commies"
