a few more...

 

[tkmullin]

Ugh... not a fan of those at all.

 

[FrankToronto]

Looks like the breakdown could be solid. I like the fun, colourful, retro look.

I wouldn't want to see any more parallels than what's already listed.

Not a fan of the floating heads.

 

[jernst2]

OK thats just lazy same auto design 07-08.

And not a fan of the floating heads either.

 

[Kovalchukcollector17]

Ah the return of the floating heads as seen on SPGU fight strap cards. Not a fan of those at all.

The RCs look a bit silly, I hope the auto design is not the exact same as 07-08 but the base cards look nice.

 

[sabres77]

I like the OPC concept, I just wish the photos were bigger. There's always too much design. And do we really need each base card to have a giant "O-Pee-Chee" written on them?

 

[zammos1]

As long a they don't mess with the format, I'm happy.

Design is fine. I kinda like the floating heads. Reminds me of the Chicago Cubs Topps team cards from the 70s/early 80s.

 

[warsawknuckles]

looks like the Black Rainbow cards take the place of the blank backs?

and aren't the floating heads kinda a retro thing?

 

[Burner]

Is it me or does that Tangradi pic look like it was snapped with a cell phone?

 

[Maple Leaf Sports]

I was REALLY excited about what i'd read and seen until the quad jersey reared it's ugly floating-heads...

 

[ginx86]

Its OPC so I'm sure I'll be picking some up. Maybe its just me but it seems like UD are announcing this set now to counteract the Score announcement. Good to see some competition, the fanboys that come with it will be annoying.

 

[The Great Zo]

Those are awful! From the recycled Signature design, to the space-wasting designs on the base set, and worst of all -- floating heads are never a good thing. What a disaster.

 

[drewsky]

I wish they'd just tweak an old topps/opc design like UD Vintage.

 

[DCUnited96]

I hope they put some effort into the card backs.

 

[enforcersonly]

I love the floating heads on the quad, RETRO. Design is ok, but as VP said... recycled.

 

[pacadie]

From my understanding, Black Retro Rainbow is the new Retro Rainbow (/100) and Retro Rainbow is the new Rainbow. What a headache...

36 packs per box... Panini announce the exact same thing two weeks ago...

I would have like to see a pick of a Retro base card. Maybe they will come back with a vintage set (like in 2008-09), but my guess, since they didn't release any picks, is that they will invent a retro look (like last year).

That being said, I love O-Pee-Chee. Love to chase Parallels and love the fact that the legends are SP (kind of...). I will bust at least two boxes again this year!

 

[odjickfan]

I prefer the look of the new Score.

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Pretty weak looking.

 

[gratzi]

I really love the look of the base cards, I guess I'm the only one...
