| I forgot how dark Chrome cards scan |
Now I really didn't have any idea what to expect when I opened the packs (6 packs, 4 cards in each), but to say I was surprised/disappointed when the cards turned out to be chrome would be accurate.
To be honest, I don't know what I really expected. 6 packs for $20. With 4 cards in each, I thought this would be different. Live and learn I guess.
The only card that wasn't a base card was the Luke Schenn rainbow parallel I pulled, #155/199. Would have been better if he was still with the Leafs, but hey what can you do?
It's kind of weird, but lately I've had more of an itch to collect hockey. I'm not sure why, but the last few weeks I've really wanted to find some good hockey products down here in S. Florida. Maybe that's the reason I bought the blaster of OPC Platinum.
Maybe the release of Upper Deck Series 1 hockey this week will help get rid of the itch. Another reason to get to the card show this weekend!
Thanks for reading, Robert
The Schenn card is nice but 24 cards for $20 is pretty pricey.
ReplyDeleteDo they still do the bilingual thing with the OPC? There's only a couple players I collect in hockey and neither are active
ReplyDeleteThe base OPC does. No write ups like they did in the old days, so the Francais is limited

ReplyDeleteWent to the Colorado game on the 27th....plan to go to a few more this year...live 10 minutes from the rink
DeleteBaseball is always number 1 for me, but I definitely start paying attention to hockey more and college basketball.
