Today I break a pack of one of the most coveted sets of the 1990's...the inaugural Topps Finest.
This was one of the first smash hit high end hobby sets...the refractors being the most coveted hits, falling at 1 in every 15 packs and a print run of just 241 each.
Here's what we got!
Chad Curtis won 2 World Series and is currently awaiting trial on some pretty unpleasant sounding charges.
Sandy Alomar is one of the all-time great Cleveland Indians. He currently serves as a bench coach for the tribe.
Ryne Sandberg is obviously a legend...despite the green color this is not a refractor, just a subset falling at about 1/pack.
Bip Roberts! In true Bip fashion, I found him in two of the three finest packs I opened.
The multi-sport superstar Deion Sanders.
And here is Mike Stanton, the non-Giancarlo edition.

Hmmm...could I entice you to trade away that Sanders and Stanton cards?
