Stickers are hit and miss with me. For whatever reason, I really like the ones featured in this year's OPC release, but at the same time I'm not really a fan of the Panini stickers. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the OPC ones are actually card-sized and come from packs of actual cards, where the Panini stickers are their own standalone set.
Regardless, my guy Jimmy Howard is featured in both sets and now, thanks to Sal over at Puck Junk, I can cross the OPC sticker off my want list. Here's a look at it:
Definitely not going to miss this one when sorting through my stack of Howard inserts. On top of the bold contrast between the yellow border, this card has an excellent low-angle shot of Jimmy guarding the Wings net. Together it makes for a sweet addition to the PC.
The OPC stickers this year are really nice. Maybe even one of the best 'sticker insert' sets ever.
ReplyDeleteI will say that Panini has made huge strides with their sticker sets over the past few years. The designs are really quite nice. I agree though that they just aren't the same as cards.
They're stickers.
How's that for some deep analysis?
