Product Details

User Rating:

Following a successful launch in baseball, 1993-94 Topps Finest Basketball marked the brand's launch onto the hardcourt.

Arriving with an all-chromium design, a large rookie crop and a ton of hype, the set holds up well from a collecting standpoint. From a design standpoint—it's all mid-'90s.

1993-94 Topps Finest Basketball Set Details

1993-94 Topps Finest Basketball has a 220-card base set and, naturally, Michael Jordan is the main course.

1993-94 Topps Finest Basketball Cards 1

These cards have a ton of color tossed around the card front in random shapes. A light border surrounds the player and the name is in small font at the top. At the time, the design was high-tech. Today, it looks more like something you'd see advertised during an episode of In Living Color or opened over a can of Crystal Pepsi.

Moving to the young talent, the 1993-94 Topps Finest Basketball rookie card class features Anfernee Hardaway and Chris Webber. Other first-year players in the set include Nick Van Exel, Sam Cassell, Jamal Mashburn and Vin Baker.

1993-94 Topps Finest Basketball Cards 2

1993-94 Topps Finest Basketball adds a 40-card subset that looks at the 10 best players from each division. These cards are inserted one per pack or two per jumbo pack. Their brick background makes them easy to discern from regular base cards.

Not likely to surprise anyone, the Refractor parallels remain very popular with collectors. The cards feature a rainbow shine in the background when held up to the light but are not marked as Refractors in any way.

The only insert is Main Attraction. This 27-card set is exclusive to 14-card jumbo packs.

1993-94 Topps Finest Basketball has two box configurations. Regular boxes have 24 packs of seven cards and Jumbo boxes also have 24 packs, but there are 14 cards in each.

Such an iconic product! Does anyone know what the print run was on these? Baseball was printed at 4,000 cases which makes the refractor print run at 241, basketball was printed higher based on the pop report of MJ refractors

With Dino Radja being inducted for his play overseas at least it has one Hall of fame rookie card. Great looking set and extremely affordable compared to when it first came out unless your chasing the refractors.

I really enjoy this set. I love the bright colors and funky design. I think Topps did a good job with thier Finest Baseball, and Football sets in ’93, but I easily prefer their Basketball debut. And by introducing the hobby world to refractors in ’93 Topps has a couple of classic sets on their hands.

Sharp looking card. Refractors hard to pull.
