They don't seem super hard to pull which is great, but Bedard sales have been a bit weaker than I expected for release day. If you hit numbered you're laughing to the bank but with his YG around the corner and these not being anything SP like the Draft Day it feels people are trying to unload so they aren't left holding the bag, already two best offer accepteds.

If anyone has a #4 bounty I can buy or trade.

The OPC Platinum Preview Bedard is a sick card despite being in Team Canada, besides that I really like the look of his Premier rookie

The premier foil boards /75 really pop and look awesome.

[odjickfan]

I watched a box break, the condition of the cards look decent. The OPC Premier inserts are nice looking. I might finally order a box.

[creasecollector]

I agree, the cards look awesome! Some nice Bedard sales out there so far too.

Currently it's gonna be Premier as it's the hardest pull, long-term it's probably close to what Ryanvas said but right now you are gonna have FOMO and there are way more of the others than Premier so it's gonna sell higher. For example I have yet to see ONE of his 3D Marquee Rookies (haven't deep dived) as they are 1:864 packs which is insane. Long term I don't think 3D rookies ever do great but right now and due to rarity it will probably sell for an stupid amount, close if not equal/more than his highest numbered Marquee Rookies.

There were 3 of his 3D cards on eBay will 1,400 BIN prices. They are indeed sweet looking. He 3D card from the past few years are very desirable and the 2020 Kirill, which I have in my collection, does not come up much. The Bedard down the line will be a great card to have.

[oldgoldy97]

My lone box should come tomorrow.

[odjickfan]

I finally ordered a box this morning. The product seems popular, some places are already sold out.

[ThatGuyPal]

I think every usual low-end product will be popular this season (look at Extended hype). Not many products these days where you can hit a base card (ten times easier than the SP btw) and basically make your money back, plus have some other numbered/rare cards to soften the blow. It's a bit worrying how low Fantilli is going for though, I know YG's are a diff animal but with them saving some guys for Extended and Fantilli supposed to be the guy to hope for if you DON'T hit a Bedard, his retro /100 went for $39.99, really seems like Bedard or bust this year unless someone steps it up

[STLtoMN]

havent collected hockey in awhile but wanted to give bedard a chase.... grabbed 1 box and hit a retro... very happy!

This set is such garbage. I watched a couple breaks and nothing changes. Minus well buy scratch tickets. Best case what is your Bedard multiple? Poor.

Not sure about garbage set. This set serves set collectors without spending so much $$$. It really should be $30-$50 box product except this year due to Bedard.

Buy. Singles.

And go for OPC P over OPC .

This is a money fire box.

It's a collectors set and super cheap. People make the 600 base set every year and even down years without a Bedard it sells for $75-100. They don't make a factory set of this nor do they put it on E-Pack to get watered down like OPC P. Not many products out there deliver this many inserts, 3 #d cards, and a box hit for under $100. Not a must buy but far from a money fire box. If you look at sales of boxes last year. OPC started at $59 and only dipped to $55. Meanwhile literally every other product dipped drastically.

You can say that about every product out there in every sport unless you luckily hit the top cards in one or two boxes.
Every hockey product has been marked up this year.
Flagship will be printed to infinity and back. 12 boxes/case gives you on average 1.5 YGs of each player. Secondary market this summer will have softer prices. E-pack will kill the market again as well. Retail too.
Yup, wise guys will buy singles. But it takes box busters to get those singles to market.
To me, OPC is just fine at this price point as it hits the true collectors and set builders a lot more than the investor types. It's a fun rip. Pre-sell locally was about $100 CAD/box + tax. If that is a money fire box to you then I don't know what else to say.

It's also dirt cheap compared to every other product thats about to get printed

One of the few fun and more affordable products still around. I'm opening one hobby box every year. Last year, I got a bounty rookie card and a Draisaitl base parallel /100 + some other numbered. This year, I got a Stamkos /49 and a Bounty Bedard. The bounty paid for almost half of the box alone.
Plus there are many set collectors around, the SPs, playing cards and OPC Premier inserts are popular traders.

[oldgoldy97]

I’m too lazy to look but can you get something for the puzzle card set after the first 125 are redeemed?

[oldgoldy97]

I guess I wasn’t that lazy. There is a base card, too.

My first box of 23/24 OPC net me $125 without the sale of my Bedard (which added $75 to the total with the sales of only 5 cards - I paid $95 for the box.)
Hardly a money fire box, OPC is actually well priced and there's some great cards in here.
YOU go buy singles, stop telling people what to do with THEIR money and THEIR collections.


Just remember singles don't hit the market unless someone rips the box open.

I missed your break. I better go look.

[oldgoldy97]

Great box.
