I like the base/rookie card design, pretty cool.

The big question is, will the 100 rookies all be carryovers, or will it included the debuting rookies for next season and be a stand alone product like it was this year?

With the mid-February release date it should include rookies who debut early in the season.

Marquee Rookie 3-D lenticular insert. Always something rare I want. lol

I've really wanted to get my hands on a Caufield or Slafkovsky myself -- so hard to find and they also go for $$$

Same timeline for release as last year so hopefully it includes the hot-shot debuts. There's not much time difference between this product and UD2 so it wouldn't make a ton of sense to have the likes of Bedard's OPC RC in that product as an update....unless they intend to hold over for Extended. (Please don't)

Dang, the base set, rookies, black parallels and premier cards look awesome. Perhaps I should throw this set together, might be fun trying to get the full black set, been a while since I've put a set together.

I'm not sure about the design of the Retro Black parallels, but for the rest, it looks good! I'll break my annual OPC Hobby box again, it's usually one of my favorite products around.

no business teasing me this far away from release date
