Frequently asked

Who's 2018-19 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee Platinum for?

For collectors who want hits without Cup money. Figure on an auto or relic every box or two, with rookies you'll actually recognize.

What makes 2018-19 OPC Platinum different from the regular O-Pee-Chee set?

Platinum is the chromium version with a much smaller 200-card checklist versus the main set's 600 cards. It focuses on colorful parallels with patterns and hard-signed autographs. You get one guaranteed autograph per hobby box, which is the big draw.

Who are the key rookies in this set?

Elias Pettersson is the marquee rookie, along with Brady Tkachuk, Andrei Svechnikov, Rasmus Dahlin, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi. The set has 50 Marquee Rookie cards total, and their autographs are the main chase at 1:30 packs.

What are the parallel tiers and how scarce are they?

Base parallels range from Rainbow (1:5 packs) down to Golden Treasures (1/1). Mid-tier numbered versions include Red Prism (/199), Arctic Freeze (/79), Seismic Gold (/50), and the hobby-exclusive Orange Checkers (/25). Emerald Surge (/10) is the toughest numbered parallel before the 1/1.

Are there autographs outside the Rookie Auto set?

Yes. Retro cards have Red Autographs for rookies (1:120) and veterans (1:300). There are also much rarer autograph versions of In Action (1:650), Net Magnets (1:1,400), and The Future Is Now (1:1,400) inserts.

What's the typical box break for a hobby box?

You'll get one autograph, six Retro cards, one Net Magnets insert, five Rainbow parallels, two Violet Pixels parallels, and two additional numbered parallels. That's roughly 17 hits or special cards per box.

How does the set size compare to other Platinum releases?

At 200 cards, 2018-19 OPC Platinum is intentionally compact compared to the flagship 600-card set. This smaller checklist means each card is tougher to pull and parallels feel more exclusive.

What's the difference between Rainbow and Violet Pixels parallels?

Rainbow is the most common parallel (1:5 packs) with a Refractor-like effect. Violet Pixels (1:11 packs) is scarcer and features a distinct violet-tinted pattern. Both are base parallels; numbered versions like Red Prism and Arctic Freeze are separate tiers.

What are the best inserts in 2018-19 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee Platinum?

Worth keeping an eye out for: Rookie Autographs (1:30 packs), Retro (1:4 packs), Net Magnets (1:15 packs), The Future Is Now (1:22 packs), In Action (1:27 packs).

When did 2018-19 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee Platinum come out?

It dropped April 17, 2019.

What's in a 2018-19 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee Platinum hobby box?
