The 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee set consists of 340 hockey cards. The Topps version contains just 176 cards.
Perhaps the greatest feature of the 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee set is the final series of cards from 290 to 341. This is the first acknowledgement of the World Hockey Association on cardboard. The highlight of this WHA series is the number 336 card featuring Bobby Hull of the Winnipeg Jets. Also featured is Gerry Cheevers of the Cleveland Crusaders.
There are no hugely significant rookie cards in the NHL section of the set. The highlights include Bobby Orr, Guy Lafleur, Bobby Clarke and Marcel Dionne.

The NHL was in expansion mode for the 1972-73 season, and so was 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Hockey.
The last card I have in my collection is #289 and i understand there are a total of 340? Where do I get the rest of the set?
289 is the last of the NHL players in the 1972-73 OPC set. From 290 to 340, it’s all WHA players.
Do you have the list with cards printed in United States?
Sorry Marcus, not yet. If you’re just looking for a checklist, try HockeyDB 1972-73 Topps NHL
341 to be exact i have all the WHA cards but they were very hard to come by , however you might want to try the dixie outlet mall in mississauga at the flea market , theres a vendor who might have them ./ this is the first time ive ever commented on this site
