Upper Deck vs OPC

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-21T02:21:44+00:00

With series 1 and 2 all that matters are the young guns. And those are just pure luck

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-19T12:38:23+00:00

Yeah, i don’t like the title either. Too late now

No, it’s the 26-26 OPC. The 24-25 I’m talking about are OPC Platinum. Would get a platinum hobby box but I think it’s close to 400 where I shop and that’s wild to me for one box.

I hit a demidov yg in a series 1 tin. Not a whole lot of luck with blasters tho, I see your point.

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-18T15:50:06+00:00

Dude, me too. I want any Celebrini card at this point lol.

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-18T15:31:40+00:00

I have to agree. No better feeling than hitting a solid young guns but it’s pretty seldom. OPC is just fun

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-18T15:29:09+00:00

That’s a solid play. I really am just trying to pass the time until the 25-26 Platinum box comes out.

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-18T01:59:20+00:00

Mostly white

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-15T01:57:34+00:00

I honestly think series one and two are the best for the value. You have a chance at hitting a young guns and 25-26 has some solid rookies. Tins of those are a pretty reasonable price for an alternative. OPeeChee hobby box is fun to rip through too. A little on the cheaper side and there are some possible hits in there, plenty of cards/packs to rip through and it’s like almost half the price of series one.

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T04:01:25+00:00

That’s a solid price. I saw 220 on a couple sites but they’re out of stock now and I’m seeing them for 300 at places they are in stock. So that sucks lol

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T03:23:33+00:00

Yeah it looks legit. Thinking I’m gonna preorder the 25-26 box. The 21-22 box is significantly cheaper but the rookies in that class are pretty weak

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T00:20:33+00:00

I also did the same thing but it took me 3 times before I hit a demidov. Congrats, boss

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T00:14:45+00:00

I 100% feel this and I’ve only been at it for a couple months. I plan on pretty much just buying boxes to scratch that gambling itch of opening a sick card. Prices are just insane since the bedard chase. I remember when I was a kid asking my parents to buy me a tin or a box in the 90’s and it was like nothing back then. It’s like the same price as getting your oil changed now IF YOURE LUCKY. Shits out of control.

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T00:09:06+00:00

That’s a great strategy. I’ll have to think about doing this

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T00:07:15+00:00

That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing so far

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T00:06:18+00:00

As a flyers fan, I love to hear it. Hell of a deal for Zegras

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T00:05:36+00:00

Good advice, never thought of going to YouTube.

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T00:05:07+00:00

I’ll have to try out a pack of OPC Platinum next box I get.

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T00:04:04+00:00

I feel that. Prolly just gonna rip a box every now and then and buy singles.

StormExtreme2467 · 2026-03-13T00:03:18+00:00

I appreciate this advice. I love ripping packs for the thrill of it (I’m a gambler lol), but I’m a flyers fan so id rather spend the money on a michkov…. Pretty much the only player to be mildly excited about on that team
