Ninja Update: 2002-03 Topps/OPC Hockey

2002-03 Topps/OPC are a set of 2 different, but nearly identical products released in tandem. Topps is the USA release, while OPC is the Canadian version. These two releases are the same in almost every way except for 2 OPC exclusive parallel sets, as well as an OPC Hometown Heroes Set geared towards Canadian teams, rather that Topps’ American based Hometown Heroes Set. While the labeling on the cards will be different depending on whether they are Topps or OPC, the checklists are nearly identical and therefore call for one entry.
