2014-15 O-Pee-Chee Platinum Hockey Forum

So is this a new thing? For my 2014-15 OPC Platinum there are now two sets showing the green progress line. My basic set is at 202/200 because I hav etwo VAR cards but my Master set is only at 202/250 eventhough I have one completed set, one missing only three cards and was just about to add a third. Why are they different? Is it because the RCs were SPs?  Kinda clueless here. I might just be doing something wrong.

The Base is one of each card number (200).  Master is every card including the 50 VARs (250).  And I noticed not one of the 50 (100) VARs has a "VAR" in Note nor a description in Note2.  They all are just "VAR:" in Note2.

So what needs to be done then? They all have an a) and b) so nothing goes in note2 of a) but the difference does go after the VAR for the b) .................... correct?! I am dumb somedays. LOL

Each card (both the "a" and "b") needs a "VAR" in the Note and "VAR:" in Note2.  That is the only way the CardNum subfield will open.  Those "a" and "b" are in the CardNum field but belong in the CardNum subfield.  And the VARs in Note2 need a description to describe what each VAR is.

Can someone help me in how to tell the difference between a Base card and a Rainbow card ?

Rainbows are on white card stock and the front is holofoil. In later years they also say Rainbow printed on the back.

Not sure what you mean by white card stock.  Looking at submitted cards both sets look exactly the same and don't both sets have holofoil on the front with white backs?

No- the base cards are chrome style, the Rainbow are not. They are Holofoil. Upper Deck's version of a Refractor.

I missed that we were talking about the Platinum set- the standard OPC has brown backs and both have a Rainbow parallel, at least in some years. You are correct in that the Platinum set all having white backs.

Okay, one last question.  How do I tell the diff between Chrome and Holofoil ... lol.  This set screams 2013-14 Panini !!!!
