I have a lot of these I was looking to sell. I was browsing ebay to see what they were selling for and I was shocked at how high the prices were. A lot of 14 sold for $250. And a Pat Lafontaine sold for $20. Am I the only one that wasn't aware of the selling prices of these? I know they were one per box but jeez. Anyway, I noticed on some of the listings that sellers are saying they are SP's. When I first read it, I was thinking that some of the 1st Day Issues are SP'd. Is anyone aware of this?
 
Also it is good to notice two more things:
1) OPC is only for Series 1
2) There's variations where the "plate" of 1st day issue is on the other side of the card. Like left instead of right.
 
They are now over 20 years old, a lot of these are buried in collections and they are not easy to come by. I am looking for any Mario's that are out there, so if you have one let me know.

Thanks
Thad
 
Sorry but I don't have any Barasso's or Mario's. I've got about 80 something out of the 500 card set. Most are from Series 1 and are commons. The notable names I do have are Messier, Selanne, Hasek, Lindros, Tkachuk, Clark, Neely, Savard, MacInnis.
 
Did a Red Wings team set and just finished it about a month or 2 ago. The tough Red Wings are Konstantinov and Ciccarelli.
 
lmk if you have any of these;
1. 1993-94 Stadium Club All-Stars OPC #4 J.Jagr/ B.Hull
2. 1993-94 Stadium Club OPC #98
 
There's a seller on eBay right now (cheyjuli) that claims to have 4000 FDIs - You guys might want to consider getting in touch to see if they have your missing pieces? There's another seller that seems to be selling a lot of the SPs too. Again - Perhaps worth the time of day to contact
 
These are really that tough? Picked up both Ranford versions (Topps, OPC) years ago. Don't think they cost me all that much... I thought they were reasonably easy to find?
 
They were inserted 1 per box and with a 500 card set, that's 1 every 500 boxes. I don't think the FDI's are all that rare but if you're looking for a specific one, they are pretty tough.
I saw the seller on ebay that claims he has 4000 of these. I didn't mention it on here because it didn't seem legit.
I know this has probably been covered before but can someone please post a scan of the OPC version and explain what the difference is.

I believe the only difference is PTD in USA on the bottom, although one says 1993, the other 1994? not sure about that now that I think about it haha
 
OK, got it. What packs were the OPC version inserted in? Were they just inserted in the regular Stadium Club packs? I don't recall there being an OPC Stadium Club but I may be wrong.

Series 1 and Series 2. Only Series 1 OPC exists.

ahh cool, I'll have to dig out my theos & look. I believe I have both versions but couldn't find the scans online with a quick look. Series 1 & 2 makes sense for the years on the 2 I grabbed off comc

I'd say there was OPC version. I would guess (without anything to back me up), that it was just like Canadian version of Topps Stadium Club.

edit. The question is actually: What OPC?
