I've done a few posts on hockey cards and have actually
been pretty excited about them due to the great cards Upper Deck puts out. That emboldened me to pick up a pack of the
2015-16 O-Pee-Chee Platinum Hockey Cards.
I should have put a little more thought into it. I'm a fringe hockey guy but a big fan of the
Upper Deck hockey cards.
That said, I am not a fan of chrome cards nor am I a fan
of expensive cards. A little research,
actually any, would have told me these weren't for me. There were only four cards in the pack which
ran me $4.99. Ouch. That was my fault as I didn't pay any
attention to the pack or the box I grabbed it from. Fail.
And they are chrome and I just don't get chrome cards, or chromium which
is another term I've seen them described as.
That is not to say these aren't good cards. I just don't appreciate them. So I'll leave it up to you to decide whether
or not these are worth picking up.
Hopefully the pictures do them justice.
I might still pick up a pack of the regular O-Pee-Chee Hockey but I'll
cross that bridge when I get to it.
Breakout:
4 - Base Cards (3 All-Star)
While I am a hockey guy and someone who likes shiny, the regular base cards from this set don't do a whole lot for me. And you are 100% correct that the price is ridiculous, unless you pull something cool $5 for 4 of these is just wrong. I will say though that there are some AWESOME parallels available. Check out these beauties from last year's set:
