Verified Trader,
Some of you probably know the story, but 08-09 OPC got me started on this project. All of the different parallels, including the Blank Backs, were very fun for me to chase. Anyway, I've done it every year since. I originally did IP autos of both the base and retro card, but moved a lot further from the practice facility, so that part of the collection has pretty much been dropped.
Many thanks to lots of HI users in helping out with these, and I've probably forgotten half of them at this point.

So yeah, with the exception of the MacKinnon stuff, I've done a pretty good job. Just 4 more Blank Backs and a Duchene Glossy to go. I was pretty happy to land the MacKinnon RC Blank Back very shortly after release for a great price.

Still need - 3D #24 MacKinnon
Pretty good this year as well. Still need about half the Blanks, and the MacKinnon 3D. I'm excited to see what this OPC Platinum release is all about too, since I really liked 08-09 Metal.
Funny story about the MacKinnon Blacks /100. The first 7-8 to sell were all in the $40-70 range. Then six of them all popped up from the same seller with $70 BINs. What?!? Surprisingly, he took two of them down and listed them with a $0.99 minimum auction. I won the first for just that, but never figured the seller would actually send it. His feedback wasn't great, but the card came, I was impressed. I also won another MacKinnon Red for $0.99 since it was listed as a base card.
Oh, and then there's this one. 1:7565 packs.
Hejduk's only card in the set. Gotta get rid of those stickers now that he's retired I guess.
Funny story on it too. I missed the first one that showed up. But won the second. Somehow, a US seller shipped it without tracking. I contacted him after a couple weeks and he informed me of this. I opened a case, which he said he wouldn't fight. But I didn't request the refund still holding out that it would show up. Then about 40 days after the payment, I got a second notice that there was something with postage due for me at the PO. Low and behold, it was this. The seller shipped it as a large envelope, but I was happy to pay the $1.34 or whatever to finally get it. Would have been nice if the first notice was ever delivered, or if they gave me a second notice before 35 days later. But in the end, I cancelled the claim and all was good. Seller didn't even give me a partial refund on the shipping I had to pay, but I don't care at this point.
Bonus - jersey numbered Black Parallels:
Nice bonus, since I wasn't trying to buy these at all, just noticed them while scanning.
My full OPC wantlists are here
Mostly Blanks and ultra-rare inserts at this point, but a few autos and parallels from 06-07 and 07-08 are still needed too. Please take a look!
And yeah, that's it. Hopefully I'll have some cool OPC Platinum stuff to add later this year. And I still need to get my last two mail calls of 2014 together.
