2011 Topps Finest Baseball

2011 Topps Finest Baseball

Product Details

User Rating:

Although the Finest brand is one of the hobby's most celebrated, it has become somewhat lost in the shuffle in recent years. However, it looks as though a little tinkering with the format might bring it back to prominence. Besides the traditional Skittles mix of colorful refractors, the focus for the hobby-exclusive 2011 Topps Finest Baseball is on-card autographed rookie cards. The base set checklist boasts 19 rookie signers, all sticker-free. It also appears that the surprise redemption cards from year's past are gone. This renewed focus freshens the line up while sticking true to its roots.

Looks like it could be a good set, and the on-card autos are definitely a plus. All I know is I WANT THAT HALLADAY! haha

David T » I agree. I’m always a sucker for Topps Finest but usually am more satisfied with the Football set then the Baseball one. But overall they are both worth getting each year.
