Haven't posted on the boards here in a while, but I've recently been more and more active trading. Kids have tied up a lot of my time and I've really been limiting myself to just regular OPC lately. This year I really wanted to do a 'late season' set and so my love of OPC combined with a love for Chromies led me to OPC Platinum.

The break was huge fun! I really enjoyed busting this product and while I may not have hit the jackpot, I'm pretty happy with how it all went... (And, hopefully, I'll be able to use some of it to finish up the OPC glossy SPs I need or land a nice Mantha Platinum auto). My only negative comment would be that collation on some of the inserts was weak. I hit duplicate Puck Personas in one box and managed 3 of a couple of retros (the groups of 5 in a box appear to duplicate/overlap...).

I ended up talking myself into a full 16-boxer... Here's the results (pretty much everything but one base set is available)...

Base Cards: 4 complete sets, almost a 5th. 5 of most of the top rookies.

Base Rainbow: 80 cards, a couple duplicates. Hit several of the big name rookies and many stars.

Ice Blue Traxx : 32 cards, a few of the better rookies (Matthews, Laine, and Mantha) and stars.

Red Prism /199 : 15 cards, Mantha was the best one.

Royal Blue Cubes /99 : Connor McDavid, Tyler Johnson, Patrick Kane, Nicklas Backstrom, Max Domi, Ondrej Palat, John Tavares, Matthew Tkachuk RC, Joel Eriksson EK RC

Seismic Gold /50 : Nazem Kadri, Jonathan Quick, Milan Lucic, Bryan Little

Rainbow Orange /25 : Brandon Saad, Leon Draisaitl, Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Kevin Shattenkirk

Emerald Surge /10 : Artem Anisimov, Patrick Sharp


Printing Plate Black 1/1 : Tyler Johnson



Retro : 80 cards, a few dupes.

Retro Rainbow : 16 cards, Mitch Marner and Zach Werenski were notable

Retro Gold Rainbow /149 : Nikita Kucherov, Nathan MacKinnon, Bo Horvat, Morgan Rielly, Connor Brown RC

Retro Orange Rainbow /49 : Wayne Simmonds



NHL Logo Crests : 20 cards, several dupes

Puck Personas : 17 cards, a couple dupes

Platinum Phenoms : 11 cards, a couple dupes

Thanks again for taking a look and I'm working on scans of everything for listing. Most everything is available : either trade for want list items or trading towards 'better' stuff as trade bait.
