2026-27 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee Hockey NHL Hobby Box – PRE ORDER deadline 10.08.2026

Upper Deck resurrected the O-Pee-Chee brand name two decades ago, and it’s still going strong as a set builder’s paradise that chronicles the season that was.
With numerous parallels and variations also in play, collectors will need plenty of cards to wrap up a master set or even a complete run of their favorite player or team.

The 600-card base set is broken into two segments, with a slightly shorter printed high series taking up the final 100 slots on the checklist and falling once per pack. Cards in the high series include League Leaders, Award Winners, Postseason Highlights, and Marquee Rookies.

Inserts
O-Pee-Chee Playing Cards appear for an 11th straight year.
Collectors will find four of the popular hobby-exclusive insert in each box, and the cards come in four levels of rarity:

• Numbers: 1:6 packs
• Jacks, Queens, and Kings: 1:34
• Aces: 1:102
• Jokers: 1:203

O-Pee-Chee Premier inserts also return (1:6 hobby packs). Parallels include Foil Ring (/299), Diamond Rainbow Foilboard (/75), and Sparkler (/25).

Collectors can get a sneak peak at 2026-27 O-Pee-Chee Platinum and its numerous parallels with Preview cards. In addition to the base version, collectors can also find:

• Rainbow
• Sunset
• Violet Pixels (/99)
• Turquoise Fragments (/75)
• Cosmic (/65)
• Red Prism (/50)
• Seismic Gold (/25)
• Orange Checkers (/15)
• Emerald Surge (/10)
• Golden Treasures (1/1)

Lenticular 3-D Marquee Rookies are always a hit with collectors, and the new version shouldn’t be an exception. That said, pack odds are extremely tough at 1:1,728.

Another popular chase is the Top Rookie Puzzle Bounty.

Collectors will find one of nine puzzle pieces in every 96 hobby packs (roughly every fifth box), and those who collect all nine pieces can redeem them through Upper Deck’s bounty program for up to three bounty award cards of a top rookie.

Upper Deck has also included some other tough finds:

• Opichi (1:288)
• Wax On! (1:384)
• O-Peach-ee (1:864)
