There are a lot of reasons why the 1/1 still remains the chase that many collectors strive to build their PCs around. They are the top of the mountain in value, and in a lot of ways, they are the cards that many products are built around. So, with that, here is a breakdown of what I think are the best 1/1s released so far this year.

Topps Chrome Superfractor Autos

Even through the box breaks were brutal, Topps Chrome Superfractors are still going to be the most valuable chase cards for top rookies. Player collectors and team collectors fawn over them, and they continue to outsell even the best of the high end products. Cant beat consistency.

Immaculate Shield Auto 1/1s

These cards come in two flavors and both are pretty good. Although I am not a huge fan of the white space for the signature, the on card autographs and design still look as nice as any other logo this year. They havent sold as well as I thought they would, but definitely some of the top on card autographs of the year. Considering that Flawless had no logo 1/1s, it made these even more of a quest.

Topps Supreme Logo Booklet Auto 1/1s

I am not a huge fan of sticker autos, but supreme has a knack for making it work well. These cards feature giant swatches of team logos and other logos, and they are a sight to be seen just like they were in 2013. Because Supreme has only been out for a few weeks, only a few have surfaced, but when they pop up, they look awesome.

Black Gold Shield Auto 1/1 Sizeable Signatures

Although the product is train wreck for design, these cards are amazing. because flywire makes the collar tough to display, using a vertical orientation works very well. Usually that means that the player gets left behind, but Panini found the best possible way to make it work.

Inception Inscription 1/1s

I never expected a pre-premiere product like Inception to be as popular as it is, but man these cards are so freaking cool. The ones out of 10 are nicknames, but the 1/1s are more focused on whatever the player wanted to write.

Museum Collection Jumbo Patch Auto 1/1s

A sleeper hit over the last few years, these cards have really been quite jaw dropping in the logos combined with an on card auto. Adding in the simple design has worked REALLY well.

Any Acetate Auto 1/1 from Topps Strata

Sadly forgotten again, despite some of the better looking rookie cards of the year, Strata’s cards remain a beast in the 1/1 department. Doesnt matter if they are the clear cut version or the shadowbox version, the cards look really cool.

Becin that there are so many products released every year, I am sure I am missing a few. Either way, these are the ones that made an impression with me off the top of my head.
