2003-04 OPC Retail?

[SkidSTL]

Can anyone share any info about 2003-04 OPC retail boxes? Such as configuration, any retail-only inserts, value (both what would you consider a fair price to pay & is there any value in a purchase), opinions of the set, etc.

Thanks!

03-04 OPC Retail came in 24 pack boxes or 12 pack Blisters, although not a ton of blisters were made.

Now the base cards did not differ from the Hobby Box to the Retail Box. What did differ, was the colour of SP that you could pull.

From Retail Boxes and Blasters you could only pull Blue SP Parallels Numbered #/500. In Hobby Boxes you could find the very rare Red and Black SP's with a Red #/100 and the Black at less than #/50.

I believe it was actually red /100 and gold /50, with no blacks available.

Awesome - thanks for the info! It didn't even occur to me to mention these were blasters I'm asking about. Sorry about that! The guy says there are oversized or jumbos in each 9 pack box...but I can't find any info on anything like that. What woukd you think would be a decent price for a blaster of these? He says he has 40.

Could he have the release year wrong?

Thanks again for the input!

Yeah, it was the 02-03 that had the Black, and the 03-04 Gold.

I remember 03-04 OPC did have jumbos in the blasters...I have Thornton one at home somewhere. 02-03 and 01-02 OPC had jumbos too though. As far as a price, I wouldn't pay over $10 for one. I don't recall them having very good hits.
