FIRST LOOK: 2023-24 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Hobby Box

[@sodapopyo]

I got 2 Bedards in the same box, i got very lucky, i heard a few collectors who bought a case and didn't get any Bedards. So he's definitely short printed

[@zephyrepic]

It could be the case, but I've seen people rip 10+ cases and they averaged 2.9 base rookies per case which is pretty much what the odds are haha (also congrats on the huge pulls!)

[@Hunter_Tea]

Out of all the products out, I still love OPC. Great rip! Hanif

[@bountyhunterbreaks898]

Heck of a loaded box there. Platinum Preview, Lenticular Rookie and the Gold Premier along with the colored parallels. Best box rip so far that I've seen. I'm a huge fan of OPC and hopefully I'll get a chance to rip some boxes.

[@zephyrepic]

It's a lot of fun and yeah I was stoked about the 3D rookie haha!

[@Brando-sb1jp]

I would say the Rookies and stars is the best ROI.b. print run is very small at only 22k sets made.

[@ripemall4548]

Thanks for the rip brother! Hope you're having a good day!💪😁🤘

[@jeromekeefe6334]

Love this product

[@the.wayne.b]

i bought a few bedards pre order, turns out they're all selling 3x what i payed lol

[@zephyrepic]

things we love to see!

[@nickmeyer5329]

Pulled a Conner Bedard base card in my first hobby box. Makes me think the population count will be astronomical

[@zephyrepic]

The base rookies should fall 2.9 per case or so, so 1 in every 5.5ish boxes. Congrats on the pull!

[@TheBirdGroves]

Maybe one year they’ll do the playing card stock up to bicycle standards; thanks for the preview

[@zephyrepic]

I'd love that. Although it would be an expensive deck of cards haha

[@TheBirdGroves]

@@zephyrepic racked them up last year and promptly riffle shuffled to learn that 😂

[@zephyrepic]

oh no hahaha. maybe next year!@@TheBirdGroves

[@ericyarbrough9639]

How much for the leo carlsson ❤❤❤

[@fliplife67]

Dont get me wrong pulling couple case hit cards are AWESOME!!!!!! but for the price point of this product is high!!!!

[@jkfactor]

It was a valued deal.. not much at 179

[@zephyrepic]

Yeah, that's pretty important context. At $180 a box, it's a hard pass lol

[@corymac1140]

22-23 SP Authentic or 23-24 Artifacts ? These Bedard Marquee rookies are gonna be wayyyy over printed. Mcdavids card is worth like $80 ffs. Bedard isn't gonna lead the league in points any time soon.

[@zephyrepic]

Oh yeah, expecting his OPC rookie to stay this high is nuts (but I do think he's got a chance to lead the league in points in ~5ish years). OPC rookies are never the most valuable in the modern era, but I don't think it's that much more of a print run than previous years. It's a super fun set where you get a ton of unique cards for a pretty low cost compared to the rest of the product line, so if you're opening on a budget it makes it really compelling. In terms of 22-23 SPA vs 23-24 Artifacts, I'd *probably* lean Artifacts, but that's another set that tends to decline a little over time too.

[@corymac1140]

@@zephyrepic ya you're right about Bedard in a few years and there are def some nice parallels and chase cards this year in the OPC set besides just the base Marquee rookie, don't mean to hate on it at all. And as far as the SPA vs Artifacts I'm just looking for something to rip, it's been a couple months and ive only been buying singles really lately, or maybe just wait for series 2 in a few weeks and chase that YG like everyone else lol. Love the website guys, really appreciate the great deals on there. ✌️

[@zephyrepic]

Gah our reply didn't come in! Honestly SPA or Artifacts are both fun rips. If you like foil cards, I always have fun with 2022-23 Allure too (I like it a bit more than 2021-22, even though the rookie crop is worse). Can't wait for Series 2 though!!@@corymac1140

[@corymac1140]

@@zephyrepic really appreciate your opinion, I've decided to just preorder another box of series two and wait a couple more weeks, I've already waited this long. Thanks a bunch, gonna order an ETB from you guys for my boy though ✌️.

[@corymac1140]

@@zephyrepic just applied for the raffle you guys are doing for series 2, I can't thank you guys enough for doing it the right way and caring about your customers instead of taking every last dollar you can from them. Even if I don't win, I'm still happy you guys are doing it this way. I'll be doing all my card shopping with you guys from now on (NHL and Pokemon). Have a great weekend guys 🤟.

[@nrykov82]

OPC hobby boxes are always fun. Plus they don't empty the wallet.

[@zephyrepic]

The design is super cool too!

[@jok3rbreaks]

Why don't Retro cards look like old OPeeChee cards? Honestly OPeeChee is just cheap paper and can be bought dirt cheap in 3 weeks

[@sportsfix6975]

Bedard is for sure short printed...Ive watched 4 breaks and they all have Black Hawk rookies, but no Bedard in sight

[@corymac1140]

Fulton pulled one his first box and a Robertson Woody.

[@owsowmuskwanaistus9213]

the retro look like gay pride rainbow
