The full-size box sold through card shops rather than big-box stores. It has the most packs and the best odds, and most modern hobby boxes guarantee at least one autograph or memorabilia card. Pack and card counts vary by product line. Older listings sometimes call this a wax box.
Blaster Box
The small retail box sold at stores like Walmart and Target, usually the cheapest full box on the shelf. Autographs are not guaranteed, but many blasters carry exclusive parallels you cannot pull from a hobby box.

2015-16 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee Platinum, checked daily. Prices move constantly and stock sells
out; always confirm on the retailer’s own page before buying.
For collectors who want hits without Cup money. Figure on an auto or relic every box or two, with rookies you'll actually recognize.
Q2What's the main chase in this product?
The rookie autographs, especially Connor McDavid. Every box is guaranteed one autograph, and the rookies are on-card signatures. McDavid is the big pull everyone hunts for.
Q3How many autographs come in a hobby box?
One guaranteed autograph per box. Rookie autos are inserted at 1:48 hobby packs, so you're pulling one per box on average.
Q4What are the parallel tiers?
There are a ton. You've got rainbow parallels, rainbow purple (/25), red prism (/149), seismic gold (/50), emerald surge (/10), blue cubes (/75), white ice (/199), and golden treasures (/1). Each tier gets progressively rarer.
Q5What's included in a typical box?
You get 1 autograph, 6 colored or patterned parallels, 5 retro inserts, 5 rainbow parallels, and 3 die-cut cards. The rest is base.
Q6Are there any other notable inserts besides rookies?
Yeah, legends cards fall 1:40 in hobby packs. There are also die-cuts (Superstars, Team Logos, Trophied Talent) that fall 3 per box, and retro-themed inserts.
Q7When was this set released?
May 4, 2016. It's a single-series release with 190 cards total.
Q8Is this a good value for the price?
That depends on what you pull. The guaranteed auto is solid, and the parallel tiers give you chase potential. If you hit a McDavid or another hot rookie, it pays off. Otherwise, you're mostly getting base and mid-tier parallels.
Q9When did 2015-16 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee Platinum come out?
It dropped May 4, 2016.
