Supreme de Blue Jay

Five Star, Museum Collection, Supreme, Tier One, Tribute, Triple Threads, Dynasty...I tend to see those as one same and giant overpriced product (Dynasty being in a league of its own). And since never in my right mind will I consider buying a box of any one of these (too much stress, not enough money, and it simply isn't any fun), I end up buying here and there what I need for my collection.

Because I'll admit it : those are beautiful cards.
And I think they did a really good job on this year's Supreme design. A nice mate finish and stylish die-cutting.
This here could be a reverse box, as I picked two cards off Ebay. And each box of 2015 Supreme contains 2 cards (2 autos). At $70 per box, it's an affordable lottery ticket, but still the lottery. When doing a real reverse box, I understand that you spend on cards what you'd spend on a box, without the element of surprise, by definition. I did not feel like spending $70 on a couple of cards. Instead, I spent $5 for the two cards combined. The fact that they are not numbered helps keep the prices very low. There's even a Delgado one that exists (and an Alomar), and I'm sure I can get it for cheap.

So there you go ! I'm quite happy with those



Yeah, that auto is kinda ridiculous, even more from up close...

  1. Supreme is so much nicer this year. They listened and went with a more basic design with on card autos. The crazy gold from the last couple of years was not very appealing.

    Very nice pickups my friend!

  2. I totally agree with your spending policy! I try to do the same with my ebay purchases and I think it is much more satisfying...
