Collectors Enjoy a Surprise with 2012-13 NHL O-Pee-Chee Black & White Inserts

It appears like collectors seem to be enjoying Upper Deck’s first NHL product of the year with 2012-13 NHL O-Pee-Chee. And as they break pack after pack to put together the massive 600-card set and maybe to participate in the hobby only wrapper redemption program, they are finding something unique. Upper Deck created a surprise to round out the insert offerings in this set called the O-Pee-Chee Black & White. Beautiful in their simplicity, the O-Pee-Chee Black & White insert set also includes a facsimile autograph of the athlete on the front. There are no actual signed versions of these cards in the market.
