Topps Supreme Football is a product that continues to live
up to its name. With striking
design, a great veteran checklist and deep rookie class, 2011 Topps Supreme
Football will keep most high-end collectors very happy. But if you can swing it, this is
a product that excels when it is purchased by the case.
Topps Supreme falls firmly into our ultra premium cards
category. Each box contains 8 4
cards, 2 base cards numbered to 429, 1 base parallel and 1 hit that can be an
autograph, autograph relic or relic card.
Here are the cards we pulled from the box.
Von Miller, front and back, Austin Pettis
Jerry Rice violet parallel #/75
Christian Ponder Auto Dual Relic numbered 07/15
(As astute readers pointed out to me because I didn't catch it, this is an eBay 1/1)
Overall Look
I have to admit, I like the look of this year’s cards over
the design of last year, even though those cards were great looking too. Pardon the pun but the stone background
gives these cards weight and helps make the gold accents pop. All of the numbering and lettering is
attractive and easy to read. The
gradated background behind the sticker auto makes it look great. The coloring
for the base parallels work very well.
Quality and Variety of Players
There is a nice mix here of Rookies to Veterans to Retired
Stars. Hits in the product lean
more towards the Premiere Rookie Class but there is still the opportunity to
pull some major hits from the proven stars of the game.
Thrill Seeking Fulfillment and Experience
It is four cards so it doesn’t take long to determine what
you think of your box. While the
ride is short, it is exciting.
This is a good entry point for high-end collectors before they dive into
the deep waters of a product like 5 Star.
Buyers Remorse or Speculator's Delight
Supreme is in line with expectations for Ultra Premium boxes
across the entire run. As Ultra
Premium boxes go, Supreme is on the less expensive side so you can still temper
your commitment. But the best bet
is to look towards cases of Supreme. With 5 out of the 16 boxes contained in a
case, your hit will be a relic card, but the other 11 boxes should make up for
that as 4 of those hits will be Autographed Relics, 4 will be Auto Rookies, 1
will be a multi player Autograph, 1 will be a single autograph and then there
will be 1 more of any of the previously mentioned autographs. Case purchases should provide a
high level of satisfaction.
Rating
4 1/2 out of 5
In 2011 Topps Supreme Football you’ll find ultra premium
small boxes with big potential.
