Who's Chasing & Ripping O-Pee-Chee Today?

Checklist is out: https://www.checklistinsider.com/202...ee-chee-hockey

I'm excited for the product this year - I'll be ripping two boxes and hoping to replicate last year's good Habs fortune. With Demidov's cards at such a premium I'm hoping the odds are in my favour.

There's a few cards in there that I'll be looking for:

Marquee Rookies Draft Photo Variant #542 Ivan Demidov

I really hope this card is from the Draft podium featuring Celine. LOL

I'm also super psyched about the 4 Nations subset -- the Red Variants in particular look awesome for Team Canada.

What are you after? If I hit something on the list, we'll connect!

Hell yea

Best bang for your buck!

I will probably do one box. I'm a big fan of the retros black border, probably my favorite parallel set in all the hobby. I'll be chasing Habs. There are many sets builders, I hope to be able to turn my base SPs and retros into PC cards in trades!

going to rip an case with a friend but on the checklist I see these no patch this year or am I wrong

@Franko0 I noticed also no more Award Winners - I was really looking forward to chasing a Hutson Calder.

It's release day! Who's cracking?

Excited to grab my boxes after work today and will rip during the Habs/Nordiques game. If there's anything cool to report it will be in the S&T section.

People were ripping this a day early yesterday

Picked up 8 boxes today. Have to say, the playing cards look really sharp this year.

[cjb]

I dunno. Does everything with modern upper deck have to be so foiley? Maybe they could have had gold foil numbered cards

That's a good point @cjb There's a lot of Platinum creep into the product. I think it would be nice if it was just plain ole cardboard. Throw in some exciting chase cards and let it stand alone. I was disappointed they cut out the Award Winners, either as a special insert or the manufactured patches. Was really looking forward to getting a Hutson Calder Trophy. So it goes.

Also, here's a fun little error. Sometimes, when watching a Habs game, I still think of him. And apparently UD does also.
