Regular O-Pee-Chee leans towards nostalgia, going old-school with a lot of its designs and features. 2022-23 O-Pee-Chee Platinum Hockey takes the brand in the opposite direction, offering chromium and all of the colors that come with it. Also bringing it more into the present day is the promise of an autograph in every hobby box.
