6 Boxes of Topps Supreme purchased and reviewed

Well......I finally succumbed to my itch of wanting to bust open some high value stuff so I paid a visit to my local card shop to see what goodies I could find. While I was able to stock up on some singles that I needed to complete a few sets that I've been working on it seemed like the only thing he had in for football was 3 cases of Topps Supreme and a few boxes of Topps Magic. So I looked at my options and said to myself, "You know it's a risk with these hit or miss boxes". So after mauling it over for 33.7 seconds I splurged on myself for once.

Here's the lovely box covering:



These boxes are in all black and they can be recycled as gift giving boxes or something to keep jewelry in or cards perhaps. They really are nice boxes.......FOR $85.00! Good boxes to give gift cards in to someone!

Here's what I pulled:

PACK 1
Well now......lookie here.....Finally I have pulled a NY Giants auto.
Eli Manning Patch card auto 38/50. It looks like around the squares where the jersey meets the cardboard there is a slight tint of damage to the red border.
Drew Brees 63/209
Ray Rice 5/5 ........looks like he's being chased by Ray Lewis for some reason.
LaDainian Tomlinson 112/209 .....who was stuffed in the playoffs like one of Gino's cheesesteak subs down a guy's throat!

ON TO PACK TWO:

Holy Cow it's a Tim Tebow rookie autograph #9/75...blessings for us all! I thought it was on card auto at first glance but then the sticker finally reflected in the light (like Tebow's HOLY PRESENCE) and I was saddened by that but then it was okay because I felt blessed by the presence of the card and Tim's HOLY STARE. SUCH A DEMONIC STARE!!!
Hakeem Nicks 138/209
Colt McCoy rookie 82/209
Emmanuel Sanders rookie 16/62 ....Steelers suck by the way! If I hear "Stairway to seven" one more time around here then some folks are gonna have a few pitchforks stuck where the sun doesn't shine!

ON TO PACK 3:

WHOA...... a 1/1 Dual Patch auto of Jermaine Gresham and Rob Gronkowski. Jermaine has part of the Reebok Logo and Rob has part of the Patriots (tail portion) logo. BTW TOPPS....good job of picking a photo shot that shows Jermaine's face being partially covered by a football.
Ben Tate rookie 7/209 .......looks like he's about to eat that ball!
Peyton Manning 94/209 .....looks like he's trying to swim
Andre Roberts rookie10/62

ON TO PACK 4:

Dan "the man" Marino 35/209 ......OH YEAH....just what we don't need in this set. Another legend player. The guy has been retired for how long??? Enough Already of that crap!
Randy Moss 49/209
Emmanuel Sanders rookie 10/25 ........WHY did I get a double of him?
Brandon LaFell Rookie quad jersey 3/7

ON TO PACK 5:

Mardy Gilyard rookie 30/209
Aaron Rodgers 33/62
LeSean McCoy 159/209
Jonathan Dwyer Quad Jersey Card 3/3 (really getting tired of pulling Steelers stuff) LOL!

ON TO PACK 6:

Major Wright rookie 30/62
Joe Flacco 127/209
Wes Welker 1/1 Boarded Printing Cyan Plate
Quad rookie jersey card 2/15 of Gresham, Shipley, LaFell, Edwards.

THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS:

I would have to say that pulling a $10.00 jersey card out of an $85.00 box left me with a really sour taste in my mouth. It's going to be a hit or miss chance every time you open a box and I knew this going into the situation. I did pull a double of the Emmanuel Sanders rookie card even thought it was a variation..... still out of a case of 8 boxes I should not pull a double of anything in my opinion.

Sticker auto's .......These cards would've been much better with "on card" auto's.

Only a few cards had a slight chipping issue on the back of the cards. All of the cards seemed to have four sharp corners and no border issues on the fronts. However if I'm paying that much for a box of cards I better not have chipping issues!

Hey, GREAT break, best one I've seen of this yet. I was just curious if you'd be willing to trade a few of the base cards: Peyton Manning, Randy Moss, and LaDainian Tomlinson? Send me an email to yanks1996wsc@gmail.com if you're interested! Thanks!
