2008-09 O-Pee-Chee Parallel Guide

[CSSports]

6,271 records found.

This is what I found in Beckett when I entered 2008-09 O Pee Chee.....

I think someone should be a SuperCollector if they put this one together.....One Set - HOLY MOLY!!!!!

Finally got an answer back from UD on the different versions of Metal. Here it is:

"Hello

The silver background cards are the metal cards and the rainbow background cards are the metal x parallels. thank you

Upper deck "

So, should we guess that the "mountains" or "tire threads" are printing flaws ?

I pulled a blank back Segei Kostitsyn out of a blaster a while back

Wow, I just read this entire thread WITH my stack of unknown OPC parrallels in hand and guess what......................I STILL HAVE NO IDEA! I have a few with obvious tire tracks, a few with not so obvious tire tracks, I ton with no tire tracks and I sure as heck can't tell the difference between a silver background and rainbow background. They all look the same to me.

I was debating on whether to build the metal set or not. I've decided, NO WAY, too confusing. I'll just get the 200 update base cards to add to my 600 card base set and trade away the inserts.

My advide to UD. I don't mind parrallels. In some cases I greatly enjoy them and have even put together some parrallel sets, BUT..............make them obvious so that we can tell the differnece. The set that comes to mind for me is 99-00 BAP Millenium Signature Series. The base cards where silver and the parrallels were Ruby(red), sapphire(blue), and emerald(green). And the entire card was that color, not the border, not a little star in the corner, not a little logo on the back..............THE ENTIRE CARD! Unless you were blind, you could not mistake one for the other. If your gonna do it, that's the way you should do it.

Sorry for the long rant, just a tad frustrated.

wait soo the metal-x are the more rare ones right? Because I have about 5 or 6 with rainbow backrounds and none with tire tracks or silver backrounds.. all out of blaster boxes.. im confused still..

Sticking this one because it's still getting questions.

[MatsSundin13Rocks]

It's actually funny because I still don't know if I have the Kulemin Metal X rookie or not. Will have to look closely again at them and see if I can tell which ones I have.

so I got this one

is it the gold or mtal or metal x

lmk what you think

[RGM81]

Looks to be a Metal to me.

"Metal: appears dark, gives off only a silver shine, player appears somewhat raised out of the background. Released in OPC Update"

Total sidenote - I need to update the original post about the "whale" business re: the Blank Back, seeing as I do in fact have one now and just found another copy today. LOL

This is the Gold version, correct? When scanned, it looks quite different than the Metal X but in person they're kinda similiar except my Metal X has the mountain ridges.
