Select Supremacy Thread (now with Afterpay)

[CardHawk]

Product has sold out.

Haters can, as DX say it... SUCK IT!

 

[essalltheway]

amazing that it has sold out in less than a week (from when pre-orders taken).

 

[essalltheway]

how often do we think that a supremacy like set will get released?

my fear is that Select will see this as a bit of a cash cow now and will release them too often. i think they'll have the most impact if released every 4-5yrs or so.

Let's have a look

Anyone else find the 01/25 Patch Signature with the AFL logo a bit of a let down(apart from the magic gold Bulldogs one). I personally prefer the patches that have a bit of the team colours to be the real standouts. There are some pretty awesome West Coast ones and The Suns ones look good too. I also really like the Premiership Glory Signature cards the best. And for some reason the Buckley Norm Smith Signature is a great looking card too(though a player on the losing side should never win)

And what's the deal with the Guernsey's already being signed and then cut up. So they were already a piece of memorabilia and then bought and turned into another piece of memorabilia. Bit like buy back signature cards that everyone was up in arms about.

Yeah I’ll have to disagree with the 1/25 logo cards, I think it’s a fantastic idea to put the whole logo as the patch as opposed to previous years where the patches were so small that the logo got split over 2-3 patch cards. Still disgusted about the Hawks jumper used. A nice brown and gold patch will be near impossible to get.

Is the quality of this signature worth sending back to Select? Appears scratched?

 

[Tazhawk]

Yeah, I would.

I’ve heard of this happening a fair bit, pretty piss poor straight out of the box!

agree. i think we'd accept it happening rarely, but if you are charging $500 a box, they should be individually inspecting each signature before packaging them. if the player fucks it up, get them to do it again.

 

[Tazhawk]

Yep, this isn't a $3 pack of footy stars, this is few days pay for some people. Should be checked carefully before going in the box.

I have however, found Select to be really accommodating when I've had to return cards, it's just really the inconvenience and extra cost of too and from registered post that is annoying.

I suspect/hope that if they're finding that they're getting many requests for an exchange that they will inspect each signature next time.

I think you are missing my point. I love the large parches too. My point was the AFL as the number #1 . Is this the best patch of the 25? Or would a colour patch be better. Or even the patch taken from the breast that has the club logo or shield (there is a pretty cool Collingwood one getting around ). The AFL logo doesnt give any idea what club the jumper is.

If that’s your point I’m still going to have to disagree mate. I think the AFL logo is the best patch to get. To me it doesn’t matter that the logo doesn’t show what club jumper it is because the rest of the card does. But think there will be some other really sick patches apart from the AFL logo too, so agree there.

 

[BLOWN8]

It really is a shame more past players weren’t used for patch cards. That would have been great.

 

[essalltheway]

Agree. But I suspect they’ve kept some stuff up their sleeve for future releases .

Quick question for anyone that has received one. Does the quad sig have any protection between the pages or are the signature touching together.

Good question, never thought of that, I was wondering if people reckon the signature patch cards will hold their value as I love the look of them.
