    I saw BOXES going for $6 at a show this weekend.  Factory sets
    for $12.
    
    If you're talking OPC "Premiere" Hockey, it's a different story.
    
    I saw boxes going for between $30 and $40 this weekend, and they
    were plentiful.  Decollation stunk tho'.

| 398.3 | is the set only top players + rookies? | UNYEM::SAPPB | you got the actung baby, uh-huh | Mon Mar 02 1992 13:08 | 12 |

    What are the top cards in the set this year? (I haven't seen a becketts
    for a few months).
    
    8 cards/pack this year instead of 7
    
    A little more color but essentially the same as last year
    
    I like it---> its a small set with no guerilla pack-selling tactics.

    Yes, mostly top players, and LOTS of rookies.  A couple of subsets
    -- "the original six" (NYR, STL, CHI, MTL, BOS, ???) players pictured
    in their "vintage" uniforms from this year.
    
    A way to picture top players on two cards.
    
    Terrible, and I mean *terrible* decollation.

| 398.5 | Another opinion/Question | CARTUN::PAVLOCK |  | Mon Mar 02 1992 16:11 | 9 | 
|  |     Two of my friends purchased boxes of OPC Premier Hockey last week. 
    One got a complete set out of a box, the other was one card short of a
    complete set.
    
    I think that's pretty godd decollation, isn't it?
    
    Regards,
    Denny

| 398.6 | So from my POV, their decollation stinks!  8^) | CERBUS::KARLSON | Only 298 shopping days until Xmas! | Mon Mar 02 1992 16:37 | 11 | 
|  |     
    Yes, that's pretty good decollation.
    
    *BUT*, when you're getting approximately 150% of the cards needed for
    a complete set (198 cards in the set, 288 in the box), you'd fully
    expect you would get one complete set -- no matter what.
    
    The box my BIL opened fell 64 cards shy on the first set, and 90
    cards on the second set.

|  |     After reading the note I went out to buy some and see how I would do.
    Background.  I like OPC Premier products (Baseball + Hockey).  I like
    the backs, # of rooks, the small sets, and the color that doesn't seem
    to shout.
    In box 1 I was 15 cards short of a set, but it was OK because I had a
    lot of extra straw cards.  Opened box two.  Once again lots of stars
    but stll short of making the first set by one card.  
    I did get 3 Gretzkys in each box.
    I took all of the cards not in the set and divided them into
    cards less than 1 dollar - cards more than one dollar.  The more than
    one dollar stack added up to 80 bucks in the April becketts
    high column. 
    Question-How will the strike affect the price of hockey cards?
    Question-How will it affect the price of OPC premier?
    Shouldn't the price of wax stop going up or even come down
    with no Stanly Cup no ROY ect.
