A few packs of 2009 UD O-Pee-Chee

Last week I picked up a few packs of 2009 UD O-Pee-Chee from my local card shop. They were in a box with a bunch of other packs and were marked at $1.50 each. I was flipping though the packs and came accross a one pack that was super thin. I stopped and grabbed the 6 or 7 packs in front of that one and made my purchase. I later found out why that pack was super thin. Here are a few of the cards I got.

Mariano Rivera

Cesar Izturis

LANDON POWELL (very interesting photo) - DEXTER FOWLER RC - MICHAEL YOUNG Moments

2 Florida Marlins team cards. Oh wait, it's 1 Marlins team card and 1 Braves team card. The Braves team card just has a picture of Hanley Ramirez on the scoreboard. They couldn't have taken a picture of the stadium when the Braves were up to bat, really!

A few of the black corder parallel cards. I really like the Kouzmanoff.

And here's the reason why there was a super thin pack. 2009 UD O-Pee-Chee are supposed to have 6 cards per pack. I opened up one of the packs and 9 cards spilled out. 2 inserts - DUSTIN PEDROIA The Award Show and the 20th Anniversary Retrospective New York Yankees and 2 black border parallels all in the same pack.

O-Pee-Chee Blaster

A few weeks ago, I purchased a couple of packs of 2009 O-Pee-Chee at Target and then used the $2 off coupons on a blaster. I was really hoping to like the cards, but I didn’t get anything that blew me away. I didn’t get any auto or relics, which is fine. I don’t really expect to get much when I buy retail. I don’t know how to explain it. I was just left wanting more. One thing that I can’t stand is all of the studio photos that Upper Deck used. And some of the shots that they choose to feature on cards, have really made me scratch my head. Take these three cards for example.

Really? Really? Upper Deck couldn’t find any better picture to use than these? Wow! Okay so something about 2009 O-Pee-Chee did blow me away!
