OPC Platinum Appreciation Thread

cfind · 01-11-2021, 02:57 PM

It gets very little hobby love but I love the design, quality, on card autos and shine of these cards, they make for an affordable and fun rainbow chase.

Please feel free to share any you have, I only have a few in hand, most of mine are still stuck at COMC.

I'm not great at capturing the vibrant colors or glimmer of the chrome, but they really do pop! My favorites are the Arctic, Red Prism(not shown) and Sunsets.

Nice cards! Love me some OPC too. I happen to like the non-auto's better than the autos. Personal preference. My fav:

1/50 and off to PSA today

Gorgeous card! I think the 2018/19 design is my favorite even though I don't have any in hand yet.

Shhhhhh. Please don't make posts like this so that I can keep secretly hoarding OPC platinum parallels before others figure out how gorgeous the cards are.

IMHO, OPC Platinum is one of the best, I've always had a thing for the first card in any set... 2019-20 John Tavares 01/50

Nice pick up! I really like how on most of the parallels you can still see the full action shot, not a big fan of full face, floating head designs.

I'm a big fan of OPC platinum. Gorgeous cards, hard-signed autos and a reasonable price point. Hockey's Rainbow!
The product has been our little secret for awhile now but it seems it is finally catching on to a broader collector base.

PSA 9 is a pretty awesome grade considering how off centered a lot of the cards were in 2015/16. I've got a few parallels(not McDavid) that are either 20/80 on the back or the front

UD HighGloss · 01-11-2021, 06:39 PM

Will have to show what I have once it’s been returned from PSA, but please keep OPC Platinum under wraps for a bit longer

.

Have these getting graded currently:

2015-16 McDavid Rainbow, Base & Retro
2017-18 McDavid Emerald Surge /10 (x2)
2018-19 McDavid Emerald Surge /10

I've never owned an Emerald Surge or seen one in person, but I bet they're Magnificent!

They were released on Epack, so there are still TONS of great deals on COMC and Ebay. They kind of fly under the radar, most new collectors are too focused on Young Guns, Future Watch's and Cup stuff, their loss, our gain!

I was going to buy some on ePack, but the site hasn't worked for me in days. Haven't been able to transfer the few cards I own, nor can I buy new packs. Oh well. Wasn't really feeling the epack thing anyway. And it's a little too dangerous for me

Love Matthews stuff... depending on how the next few seasons go with Matthews likely in contention for the Rocket each year.

The gap could close between McDavid, Mack and Matthews.

The matte pinks are really nice, they did an awesome job picking just the right shade.

The Auto rookies are undercover low priced. The Emerald Surge are my favorite.
