It feels like Upper Deck put minimal effort into this years set. For instance, Quick is still shown as being on the Kings, even though that isn’t the last team he was with at the end of the season. Same goes for Kane still being a Blackhawk. The card stock doesn’t feel like a traditional O-Pee-Chee card anymore, and the card backs offer very little for people who enjoyed the stats and stories that O-Pee-Chee used to have in the pre Upper Deck days. When I compare these to 2024 Topps Baseball, I feel jealous. The card backs on those still have everything that a fan of old school cards would want. Topps Heritage Baseball is also everything I would like to see in hockey’s O-Pee-Chee Retro. It just feels like Upper Deck is getting farther away from from that traditional card feel. Maybe it’s working for them, I don’t know. But at least for me, Upper Deck’s effort here is a let down.
