Description
2017‑18 O‑Pee‑Chee Platinum Green Rainbow Variant #R‑3 Johnny Gaudreau /50 Calgary Flames
The 2017‑18 O‑Pee‑Chee Platinum Green Rainbow Variant Johnny Gaudreau #R‑3 is a premium low‑print parallel from OPC Platinum’s chromium lineup. Numbered /50, this Green Rainbow version applies a vivid emerald refractor finish across the card surface, enhancing the etched‑foil OPC Platinum design and giving the card a high‑contrast, premium shine.
Gaudreau is shown in full Calgary Flames gear, framed within Platinum’s signature chrome layout — sharp photography, metallic gradients, and the distinctive Rainbow refractor pattern. As a short‑print parallel, the R‑3 Green Rainbow fits naturally into Flames collections, Johnny Gaudreau player PCs, OPC Platinum rainbow builds, and premium 2017‑18 NHL parallel assortments.
The combination of chromium stock, refractor finish, and limited print run aligns with long‑tail collector searches involving OPC Platinum parallels, Green Rainbow variants, Flames star forwards, and mid‑2010s premium UD chromium releases. Official NHL/NHLPA licensing ensures authenticity and proper branding throughout the card’s layout.
