5 OPC Packs - $15
1 Pack of SpX - $9
1 Pack of Donruss - $8
TOTAL - $32 + tax
Let's see if any of these packs could beat the 7.5/10 score of "Score Hockey".
OPC
The base set from OPC is impressive with the most obvious difference being that UD shrunk the gigantic OPC logo on the front of the cards.
What I really do like about the OPC product is the all cardboard brown backs. I know OPC had always had colour in their backs but for some reason this raw cardboard feel is really quite nice. But, look at all that wasted space on the lower third of the Fedotenko card! Score - 1; OPC - 0. Nonetheless, an attractive build.
Speaking of attractive, these cards are beautiful. Simple, vintage and very collectable! The backs are really impressive IMO. I like the big honkin' retro OPC logo along with that cursive font for the players name. I pulled 5 of these bad boys.
The rainbow parallels are seeded one every four packs. I bought five packs which gave me a better chance at pulling one and voilà! I'm not the number one fan of rainbow parallels but whatcha gonna do?
I can't say I'm a supporter of either of the Rookie or Legend cards this year. The fronts look like a hodge podge of fonts and cheesy "Price is Right" designs. The back of the RC's on the other hand, look neat. I like those 3 logos in the middle stating year of draft, round and selection. Much more interesting than putting them tucked in the corner nowhere to be found.
Stickers! My question is, are they actually stickers? Theoretically, could I actually peel off the front of the card? I don't wanna damage the card so I didn't jam my nail in between the cardboard, but from what I can see, I think not. If UD made real stickers, with team logos, numbers etc. I think I could get behind it, but for now it's kinda a dud for me.
This card was definitely the card of the break. The idea is spot on, the design is intriguing and the overall feel of the card is awesome. Great idea! I have a feeling someone else my want this card more than I do though...
DONRUSS
This pack contained 5 cards and set me back almost an entire 10 dollar bill...
Not what I had in mind. Five base, no parallels, no inserts, no GU hit and no AUTO. This was a bust any way you look at it. But what can I expect, I only tried one pack; the odds were always against me.
SPX
This is my last hope, with four cards per pack there has to be something good in it right?
Waaan, waaan, waaaaaaaan! Another bust, the only positive being a Daniel Sedin card.
So when it's all said and done, the only positive from this second break was the OPC cards. Donruss and SpX gave me the shaft pretty good.
So without further a due, here are the final scores...
OPC - 8/10
Score - 7.5/10
Donruss - 2/10
SpX - 3/10
OPC/Don./SpX - 4.5/10 < Score 7.5/10
The winner is most definitely Score, but it was still a fun break. Can't wait to do it again!
GO NUCKS GO!
