The O-Pee-Chee Company, Ltd. was a Canadian confectionery company founded in 1911 that produced candy until the mid-1990s. Based in London, Ontario, the company produced its first trading card sets in the 1930s, releasing several collections of baseball, gridiron football and ice hockey cards until the company was sold to Nestlé in 1996. The O-Pee-Chee name was licensed by trading card company Topps in 1997 to release hockey cards; that license expired 2004. Three years afterward, Upper Deck licensed the O-Pee-Chee brand, and continues to use it for hockey cards to the present day.
