If they're gonna charge $250 a box then they should stop calling it O'Pee'Chee and just call it Upper Deck Platinum. Absolutely ridiculous price increase
Yeah. It's crazy. I loved picking up a few boxes every year at $100. For $250, no way. UD getting so greedy as usual. Trying to run the industry into the ground.
Been waiting for this!! I sincerely hope this isn't as watered down as it looks on paper. Easily my favorite set of the year. Also.. was that a Violent Pixels? 😂
I watched the GPS breaks and couldn’t believe how horrendous the centering was. I guess that’s par for the course with OPC, but when you more then double the price maybe give us a bit of reason to open the wallets, yeah?
I love this product but def don’t understand what the hold up was. I’ve watched a bunch of boxes opened and been in a couple breaks and that’s the first houndstooth I have seen!
I really appreciate the review of the box at the end of the video. although i listen to the full video it's easy to look away and miss things so the review at the end is nice to have!
Unlike 20-21, these are definitely going to go down in value. The rookie crop just isn’t enough to back up this price. These will be way cheaper in 3 years when 22-23 gets released, buy one then.
The Houndstooth is the first card I’ve seen in any video today which has truly good centering and would be worth sending in to grade. I was so excited for this product to come out but sticker autos and the quality issues with a $200 price tag (that’s real American Freedom Bucks) pushed me away today at the card shop. I got a box of ‘21-22 Artifacts instead for $85 and pulled a sweet Alex Newhook rookie auto. If it clearances down to $125 I may consider it so I can try to build a base set but beyond that, it’s hard to justify the cost.
@mattyoung6474 so they come as 8 box cases, there isn't a master cases because they released as a jumbo box with new format so ur 8 box cases are not guaranteed to have a case hit
@@mattyoung6474 I watched like 4 cases get ripped and was all junk auto nothing good alot of filler cards and high numbered color nothing worth anything
Bought a 8 case box. It was terrible conditions.. still got some nice hit but man those cards half of them where damage / something stuck to surface and the centering on half was terrible 😂 very dissapointed
This looks like a great first box to rip if I can find one for a reasonable price. Every rip I've seen has the same level of praise for the product and not the price.
Its absolutely insane that they release this product with every single box containing tons off off-centered cards. Spa is a worse, watered down product aswell. Prices keep going up while content and quality keeps going down.
This hobby is leaning more and more for rich people, just look at the price of boxes, the average person can not afford these price increase, unfortunately were not all zeree who can afford these 500 dollar boxes and 1000 dollar graded cards. Cold hard facts of the hobby. Cheers
So, I have always loved Platinum. Even as they watered it down, it always looked amazing, and collecting it was the high point of the year. I will not rant about how for numerous reasons, I have for the most part stopped collecting over the last 6 years. I have, however, kept collecting platinum. Well, they finally did it. Too pricy, too watered down, total lack of quality control, not aesthetically pleasing, and oh, did I mention too pricy...I have figured out why it took 2 years to release this product. It took that long to complete the print-run. I have really enjoyed the 2 year break, as I have built up a STUFFED binder of '20-'21. To look at it for too long, is to go blind from all the shine. But with the release of this product, I'm done! I cant waste the time or the money.
i actually want to try this product out because it does look enjoyable with all the parallels and numbered cards plus the auto, but that price for one auto and a lot of off centred cards makes me not want to buy it
Me as well. I passed it up at the card shop today in favor of Artifacts and Extended which were both on a hot sale. Probably came out ahead compared to the alternative.
I'm not hating on the set, Platinum has def. been my favorite Hockey release over the past few years. But it kinda feels bad when the entire market has been on a 2year slide since the mountain top peaks of 2020'/21, plus the set is a year late, plus the checklist has been diluted, PLUSPLUSPLUS they raised the price by almost 70% over last year. idc if they're 'jumbo' packs of 12. I'd rather my 80cards for $150 instead of 144 for $250. prob still buy some tho.
Just shocking how out of touch with the market UD is at this point. Every 21-22 product is down sharply in value and yet, the prices of new products continue to rise. Pretty nice box, btw.
The price increases are getting a little ridiculous. How is the average person supposed to get into the hobby? There's a lot of fun stuff I could do for $250, or I could buy one box of poor quality controlled hockey cards...
If they're gonna charge $250 a box then they should stop calling it O'Pee'Chee and just call it Upper Deck Platinum. Absolutely ridiculous price increase
I just don't get it they're not adding anything substantial to the product how they can justify they cost increase.
@@freethinker3161 A "slight" increase is justifiable since you're getting 64 more cards than the previous product.
@@FlockyFlock17 I didn't know that, however charging me that much more for more base is not really preferable. All the best.
@@freethinker3161 20-21 was 20 packs 4 cards per pack. 21-22 is 12 packs 12 cards per pack. That's what UD Series one. For 23-24 will be also.
250 a box. 1 auto per box. Every card off centered per box.
What a product!
yea i gave up buying boxes all together UD has went greeedy to the point of no thanks
It should be called o pee chee pro set...
They spelled canadiens "CANDIENS" on the caufield sweet selections. 4:50
Woof, retail price on this is crazy. =(
Upper Deck is actively pricing me out of the hobby. This is my favorite product, but I am not paying $250.00 for a box of Platinum.
Yeah. It's crazy. I loved picking up a few boxes every year at $100. For $250, no way. UD getting so greedy as usual. Trying to run the industry into the ground.
$250 for 1 auto is insane
Don't try other sports...😂
Next year will be more
I literally just bought the card you have on thumbnail. Orange checker, color match, Z.
UD has completely priced me out of the hobby. Sucks, because I was looking forward to pick up a box, but no way for $250
The fact that these packs are $21 each is insane for what you get…… Odds are nothing
Does anyone know anything about the Black Shield variant parallels?
Been waiting for this!!
I sincerely hope this isn't as watered down as it looks on paper. Easily my favorite set of the year.
Also.. was that a Violent Pixels? 😂
Yes /299 this year
@@ontheRizw11 There's an N in there 😅
I watched the GPS breaks and couldn’t believe how horrendous the centering was. I guess that’s par for the course with OPC, but when you more then double the price maybe give us a bit of reason to open the wallets, yeah?
Someone should compare 2 hobby boxes to a case of 20 blasters, from what I seen so far blasters are pretty good nice!
That elias was sick. One of the better boxes ive seen
How much is next years gonna be with bedard? Probably $400?
I love this product but def don’t understand what the hold up was. I’ve watched a bunch of boxes opened and been in a couple breaks and that’s the first houndstooth I have seen!
I really appreciate the review of the box at the end of the video. although i listen to the full video it's easy to look away and miss things so the review at the end is nice to have!
I wish they would have kept the aqua marine and added the hot magma on top of that
7:58 “Looks like we’ve got a violent pixels here”

Your box seems a bit better than mine but you can still see off-centering and left to right scratches on the retro cards. Great video as usual!

Best hockey product to get from 2019-2024 for the money hobby box wise ? Also 2019-20 or 21-22 O-Pee-Chee Platnium ?
Not gonna lie, way overpriced! I used to love plat because it was affordable but 250$ is too much for extra base rookies
O.C. parallels are my favorite every year 😍
The new configuration doesn’t seem terrible. But the price increase really sucks. UD greedy af
Cases don't have a case hit FYI, I watches 2 full cases and it was a field day with watered down junk for 250 it's a rip off 😊
You mean boxes ? Cases have a case hit not an inner hit though

Had a box with no auto at all :'( !
That EP40 is sick!!!! Seems like all the videos I’ve seen there are a ton of centering issues, but that card looked good!
250??? Yeah, will leave that in shop and buy singles from secondary market
If you broke just say that
@@makyt2284 You're right, i am broke :D but also i'm very selective where i put my money, and for this pricepoint? No thanks.
@@mez6925buying singles is boring and doesn’t guarantee that you won’t lose money in the future.
@@makyt2284 I got plenty of money. Doesn't mean I'm willing to overpay for crap 😆
By having it released as a jumbo box they raised they could raise the price and water it down hard
3 rookies per pack of 12 is the same ratio as when platinum started 1 rookie per pack of 4
Really hope the price comes down on this
Will only happens if people dont buy at 250 wich is not the case
Dude sick Pettersson and Podkolzin. 😮
How many Hall of Famer Rookie cards slab 9 can you get for $250?
Bought a 8 case box. It was terrible conditions.. still got some nice hit but man those cards half of them where damage / something stuck to surface and the centering on half was terrible 😂
very dissapointed
21-22 ALLURE better looking particularly the Red Rainbows, Purple Diamond etc variations
This looks like a great first box to rip if I can find one for a reasonable price. Every rip I've seen has the same level of praise for the product and not the price.
Hey bladder99 honestly you think its a good product, are you zeeree brother by any chance
Blasters on the UD site, Zeeree
$250 box to get Canadiens spelled wrong "Candiens", see at 4:50 mark. Hearing lots of people not getting autos either. Upper Deck QC fails again!
Love that Petey pull 😮
Pulled some beautiful Parallels there. The centering issue though is concerning
OPC platinum! About time! Need to sell some stuff to buy a box.
I gave my left nut to buy SPX. So long to the right one
I might be interested in the Petey houndstooth if your not happy with it…
Elias pull is sick. Can't be mad at the tkachuk either. Auto could have been better but at least you got a rookie. Solid box.
i’m not buying this stuff at all, which is sad because I was really excited for it
i’m disappointed it’s not more affordable considering the cost of every other 2021-22 product has gone down from years past
Great video and ok break. Box cost too much
I might have to buy a box of this since Shea is in it for the first time ever lol.
Its absolutely insane that they release this product with every single box containing tons off off-centered cards.
Spa is a worse, watered down product aswell.
Prices keep going up while content and quality keeps going down.
That price retro was beautiful any price card is

"hopefully we don't have centering issues" rip
Boycott upper
Deck and their prices at this point.
what took you so long! been waiting for this all day!
I think I seen more noticeably off center cards than centered ones

I bought a box and got 5 hot magma and not auto. Worst feeling opening a box all time
i actually want to try this product out because it does look enjoyable with all the parallels and numbered cards plus the auto, but that price for one auto and a lot of off centred cards makes me not want to buy it
The centering is horrific in this product is right up there with junk wax era pro set lol wow someone was asleep at the trimmer
I swear I pre ordered this stuff a year ago
QC I’ve seen so far has been really bad with centering. Makes me hesitant to drop this much cash on a box.
Me as well. I passed it up at the card shop today in favor of Artifacts and Extended which were both on a hot sale. Probably came out ahead compared to the alternative.
Damn I don’t know about platinum at this price I’m a big mctavish guy though so nice pull man
The centering is a shame.
Buying any Simon Benoits :)
Love platinum I think you got the extra $100 in hits that you paid
The petey is awesome. Ricky from trailer park boys approves!
$250?! Daaaaaaaamn,
Feeling centered after that
really dislike that area at the top of the card, like the hot magma cards just look really badly miscut. looks terrible overall.
Of course Upper Deck ruins the one fairly priced product that everybody liked.

prob still buy some tho.
Also, how to reconfigurate a product and destroy it in the process 101.
Bought 3 box lost around 700$ nice😢
you the man Zeeree
i need that pettersson :(
250 a box???? Pass
Was my favourite product but come on I’m not spending $250 -.-
Haha "Violent Pixels"
Yikes. Imitating Panini Prizm. HOSTILE centering/QC. Double the price... I'm out.
Just shocking how out of touch with the market UD is at this point. Every 21-22 product is down sharply in value and yet, the prices of new products continue to rise. Pretty nice box, btw.
nice petey
NICE!
250 a box wow that’s just sad and only one auto just terrible
$250 F That
I NEED THAT PETEYYYYYYYY
Seems pretty steep for $250 might pass on this product.
Let's go !
Too expensive after another ULTRA inflated production run. Plagued with centering issues!
$250 box. $25 worth
Tkachuk orange is $100 alone.
As always love the video but this is seriously over priced for what you get
Sticker autos SUCK! Very sad to see on OPC Platinum.
The price increases are getting a little ridiculous. How is the average person supposed to get into the hobby? There's a lot of fun stuff I could do for $250, or I could buy one box of poor quality controlled hockey cards...
CAPS caps caps caps
Crazy price and for that price being so off centered complete bs.
30 seconds of ads 3 minutes into the video lol
Zeeree should I get Connor mcdavid young guns graded my uncle gave me for my birthday 3 years ago
platinum qc is always so bad good luck ever getting a PSA 10 lol
Just dont buy it then they will have to adjust the price. I know the want factor but do it and it will eventually drop.
I already miss the old product. The nhl needs to take away exclusive rights from EA and UD if they have any real plans of growing the game or hobby.
May as well throw ESPN, FS and TNT into that shit too.
Complete 1000% waste of money on this product that should not be more then $100 a box with tax
