Upper Deck O Pee Chee Platinum Hockey is one of the most anticipated releases of the year for hockey card enthusiasts. When comparing to Upper Deck Hockey Flagship products, SP Authentic, and similar products that have a large base set; Upper Deck O Pee Chee Platinum might be the most exciting product to open.

Upper Deck O Pee Chee Platinum Hockey is predictable in the sense that you can expect to find one autograph and five numbered parallels per 12 pack box. The unpredictability of which five numbered parallels is what makes Upper Deck O Pee Chee Platinum a rush to open.

We need to be honest for a moment. The deck was stacked in Upper Deck's favor for the 2024-25 O Pee Chee Platinum Release. A stacked rookie class including Macklin Celebrini, Matvei Michkov, and Lane Hutson meets one of Upper Deck's best hockey products.

Upper Deck was alone on a breakaway with an empty net and had to tap it in, Happy Gilmore style.

But, Upper Deck did not cut any corners with 2024-25 O Pee Chee Platinum. Sleek card design, mostly on-card autos, comprehensive checklist, and a reasonable price point have made for another great Upper Deck Hockey release.

Overview

Upper Deck 2024-25 O Pee Chee Platinum Hockey released on Wednesday July 2, 2025. Breakers are snapping off cases on various platforms and it is common to see customers ripping box after box of Upper Deck 2024-25 O Pee Chee Platinum in local card shops across North America.

Each box features one autograph, five numbered parallels, and over 30 inserts or parallels. Upper Deck 2024-25 O Pee Chee Platinum currently retails for $230 USD, and that number is expected to rise in the coming weeks based off a dwindling supply.

The Good

Hockey card enthusiasts are getting the right value for the box they paid for. Sure, some boxes are better than others. Yes, there are skunky boxes of 2024-25 O Pee Chee Platinum out there. If you are willing to swallow the financial pill of opening an eight box case of Upper Deck 2024-25 O Pee Chee Platinum, most likely, you will not be disappointed.

The autographs are a lot of fun to chase. In reality, it is possible to win a box or case break with a couple of the right lower-numbered parallels that are not autographed.

What Could Be Better

The Blue Rainbow autographs are stickers. If I had to pick two Upper Deck Hockey products to eliminate sticker autographs from, it would be The Cup and O Pee Chee Platinum Hockey.

Update autographs seem to hit a little too often. It is time to start a movement. Update autographs should never count as the hit in a box. Update autos should always be considered a bonus. It is not the consumer's fault that Upper Deck was unable to obtain the athletes' autographs in a timely manner.
