Although much of the 2021-22 O-Pee-Chee Hockey checklist channels a retro vibe, many of the unannounced Easter Egg inserts go in the opposite direction.

Yes, there are several different surprises to look for that Upper Deck left off the checklist.

As usual for Easter Egg content, don’t expect to get official word on how tough certain cards are to pull or print run specifics. Upper Deck usually likes to keep that as part of the mystery.

Retro Blank Backs

The longstanding tradition continues. It’s a simple concept. Flip over your Retro parallel. If there’s nothing on the back it’s intentional — and likely extremely short printed.

Variations

Variations come in several themes. Most have photo swaps that change out the image on the front. Black and White versions also exist.
