14/15 Flawless thread

Picked up my first Faried today - Then & Now auto #/20. Given that he has never signed with UD, pretty cool to have a Morehead State uni in the collection.

Also got a Tony Wroten and Tyreke Evans ruby base #/15 incoming.

Picked this up this afternoon for US$24
Is that a good price?
 

Agreed, people seem reluctant to let a Ray Allen run at auction. I think it's because him in a bucks jersey is just perfect.

It's a real shame it doesn't look like Westbrook was made??? Or maybe just hasn't surfaced yet?
 


yep some sickness there!!!
the dual patches are still my fave though. been getting alot of the 1/1s right this year.

Some of the "Greats" Auto patches are some of the best I've ever seen!! check these out!!

I have to disagree with this.

The 'greats' dual patches IMHO are the only cards from each year of Flawless that are underwhelming. With 14/15 vertical design ranking last of the 3 for me. The shape of the patch windows and the design at the bottom is just awful IMO.

The Momentus series is the best this year for patch autos I think. (still could've had a bigger patch though)

The 'Top of the Class' set just stupid small patches for a super expensive product. stupid small patches.. smdh.

And whilst the patch autos with the big patch windows are the biggest patch auto card in the product.. just a lazy design.
However, I think in the gold #/10 they still look pretty awesome. I've still picked a few up.

And again, nearly everything in the ruby series looks crap. and the black foil 1/1's,,, way to go to drop the value and allure of those cards!

Love the base design, i think its going to move ahead of the 12/13 base design for me.
Love the usa base and autos.. just great work there, beautiful designs.
 
I really didnt like flawless last year - felt it was very unimaginative.

This year though, wow! Huge turnaround. I think its easilly the best looking product so far followed by Noir, and then probably LUXE or Spectra.

I give Gala an honourable mention, though the whole recycling the film idea from a very cheap set (signatures) into a high end set feels a bit tacky to me.

LUXE pleasantly surprised me. They look a tad plain in photos, but really nice in person.

Overall though, Flawless are at the top of the heap - stunning. Makes me seriously want to blow $2k on a box, which i never would have dreamed of in the past.
 
I spent 3k on group break hit drafts today... lol

First break got me picks 1 and 7, and then 13 and 20 on the back snake..
Took this nice Jabari with pick 1

The Mojo gods smiled on me in the next case and blessed me with pick #1 and 4 and 16, 20 on the back snake.

And I managed to land this monster!!!

Trying my luck again I jumped into a full case 4 person snake draft and got 2nd pick,
Although this was a bad bad case as it was missing two patch hits from each box and overall a fairly weak case.
CP3 patch auto #/10 was pick 1, I managed to get a kobe auto with the 2nd pick.

That just about emptied the wallet so I think I'll give the flawless a rest for a bit..

But I agree with the above sentiments, overall I think the product improved this year.
 
Well done Ben, good to see you get some mojo after dishing out so much yourself

What is everyone's thoughts on the Flawless college stuff? I'm not sure it looks good

I think it's an incredible addition personally. I grabbed a Tim Duncan as he has very few quality cards in his College uni.

I think it's also pretty awesome if you collected a player like Chris Paul where you could have his NBA, College and USA Flawless base card as a mini set. I get why some would not like it though.

Some great hits there. Love the triple auto and Jabari rookie auto.
