2011 Topps Supreme Product Review
Reviewed by Howard Wheeler
Good: Great mix of veteran and rookie cards, lots of parallels at different price levels, booklet cards, fantastic patches and logo cards.
Bad: Just four cards per box, potential for below-average hits, sticker autographs, redemptions.
The Bottom Line: A lot of anticipation comes with busting 2011 Topps Supreme Football. It, however, has the potential to be just as big a letdown as it does of having a great pull. Collectors who know this going in should be willing to take the risk.
Card Design: 4.0/5.0
I like the design of the cards. It appears to be a cross of 2011 Topps Inception and last year's 2010 Topps Supreme. The action photos of rookies in their pro uniforms are a definite draw. The huge patch windows for memorabilia cards are great for display and offer fantastic eye appeal.
Checklist: 5.0/5.0
The 100-card base set mixes rookies, veterans and retired stars. It has all the players collectors expect like Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Ray Lewis. Also, Aaron Rodgers makes a long overdue appearance in newer products.The autograph checklist has lots of current and retired players. There are also more than 30 different autographed rookie cards. The 2011 rookie class is also featured prominently in the Red Zone Rookie Autographs, which are included as bonus hits and don't count toward regular insertion rates. Multi-autograph and book cards offer the potential big hits.
Value: 3.9/5.0
Each box has one pack of four cards: two base cards, one Red parallel and one autograph, autographed relic or relic card. Our hit was a redemption. When you're spending upwards of $100 for a pack with one hit and it's a redemption, that's hard to excuse. Although many collectors are bound to find big hits, others are going to be left feeling cold.
The Fun Factor: 4.0/5.0
It's exciting anytime you bust a box that has the opportunity of landing a mega-hit. That said, with just four cards, that feeling disappears quickly. And while getting a redemption as the lone hit is disappointing, I look forward to eventually receiving what should be an extremely nice card. Is it worth the hefty price tag? Definitely, for those who can afford the risk.
