OPC Signatures are now 2 a case eh? Twice the Adam Burish and Alex Brooks action...noice :D

Canadian Heroes, auto parallel – randomly inserted

This could be a really cool idea, but I don't think it'll turn out the way I would envision the perfect "Canadian Heroes" set working out to be :(

I wonder if UD is willing to do some crossover and bring some other sports guys into the mix for this set. In addition to another Daniel Negreanu...guys like Jason Bay and Justin Morneau would probably do some big bucks if they were implemented into the set somehow.

Not sure about this set but my guess is you will start to see several of the Basketball guys UD has under contract start to show up in Hockey, Baseball and Football releases. I know the Hockey purists will be complaining but Kobe, LeBron and MJ autos would spice things up a bit... Mike
 
Lots of cheesy marketing there... :P But once again it looks like a solid set and UD's offering of OPC has become one of the annual standards much like Series 1 & 2, SPA, and The Cup are.
 
Not sure I like this set coming out so early. I'd rather have "set builder" sets have off-season updates. I'm sure they'll do an update set again, but I'd much rather have an accurate set for folks to chase in November than a inaccurate one in September.

Upper Deck should stick with Victory and maybe MVP in the off-season/early season.

Of course, even though I like it, I wouldn't be surprised if MVP was shelved this year.
