Just like the 2004 Opening Day pack I opened yesterday, 2006 Opening Day has the same design as regular Topps, only with cyan colored foil stamping. Unlike the '04 pack I opened yesterday, each '06 pack comes with one of 25 Opening Day exclusive SI for Kids inserts and a stick of bubble gum.
Speaking of which... Even though this pack is less than a year-and-a-half old, and each slab of bubble gum is individually sealed (for your protection), this did not prevent each stick from shattering like a wine glass at an Ella Fitzgerald concert when dropped onto a table from a height of 12-inches. And before you ask, no, I'm not eating it.
Again, since I don't collect Opening Day, all these cards can be had for the price of an SASE.
Why Topps kept this crap for their dollar product and kiboshed Topps Total, I'll never know.
