They mention completing the Diamond mission to get the Perfect reward. There is nothing said about the lower missions. To me, that means you can technically buy the Diamond card, then complete the Diamond mission to get the Perfect reward. Even the picture says to get the perfect card, complete the Peavy Diamond mission (the card) and the Diamond BAL mission. No mention of previous BAL missions anywhere.

I see no room for interpretation. You need all of the lower tier cards, not just the one you want to upgrade. In the quote you pulled, his example of "buying in" at the Diamond tier includes buying the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond cards. If he meant you could just buy the Diamond card, he could have said so.
More to the point, he flatly says, "In order to complete a tier, you need to have the previous tier(s) B-A-L card(s) and complete the mission for that tier (example, to complete the Gold tier you will need the Silver and Bronze version of the B-A-L card and complete the Silver Mission for that player to finish the Gold Unlock mission)". It is unambiguous. You need all the previous tier(s), which is singular only for the Bronze -> Silver step.
Edit: You need all the previous cards, whether you unlock them yourself through missions or buy them. The previous missions that you
can skip are the collection missions with other cards from the same year (e.g., "Player Name - Bronze Mission").
