What does the Future hold?

It is, except now it's one company that is releasing all the sets, and charging way too much for the value that one gets out of the boxes.

Thats why a mainly only do OPC box's. Classic card stock large set and box's are fairly ok priced. I know the value is not there but heck i don't collect for value or investment. I collect what i like and buy it if i think its worth the price. I get about 5-6 box's a year to complete the set and then just buy the update set someone else completed from ebay. anything else i want i just buy the singles i like if i can afford them.

I love the OPC set too. I grew up in the 80's when OPC was the only set for hockey. I miss those days. I lovce the Retro parallels on the current sets, but feel they should just make the retro set the main set and forget about the current regular set, which I find to be quite bland. Also, I'm getting sick of Upper Deck continuosly releasing a set and then an update to that set in a another, more expensive product. I would just as soon they released a set in it's entirity in one product and then I can be done with it. That's why I also really like the Walmart Parkhurst exclusive set. It's relatively inexpensive, had great insert cards and no update cards in other sets. May just stick with that set next year.

@disomike I didnt get into hockey until 92 and OPC was always something i knew existed but never seen being i live in the USA. Im jealous of all the hockey you get in Canada but the Internet has made things so much better.

The Internet has its positives and negatives, but the good I think far outweighs the bad.
