2009 O-Pee-Chee Cubs

 Not only did Upper Deck have an OPC insert set in 2009, they also created a stand-alone set.  They were going to milk the OPC name for all that they could get out of it.

The 2009 O-Pee-Chee set is made up of 600 cards.  The design has the look as if Topps 1976 and 1981 got together and had a child.

 

But here's where Upper Deck really failed.  When a collector hears "O-Pee-Chee" one of the first things that comes to mind is "Canada" or "French."  And that's what made the original OPC unique - the slight design variations and the inclusion of French.  

Upper Deck did none of that.  Il n'y a pas d'écriture française sur les cartes.  There is no French writing on the cards.  Without the French it's just another unneeded set.  I would imagine that Canadian collectors would have been excited when they heard that there was going to be a complete OPC set and then disappointed that it didn't have the one thing that OPC was known for.
