Topps Finest Baseball
Posted by Tuff stuff

We got our hands on some hobby-only Topps Finest Baseball, and there were a lot of refractors and other goodies.

Topps Finest Baseball
  • 5 cards/pack
  • 12 packs/box

These are pretty decent cards with nice photography. I'd like to have more stats on the back than trivia, but what are you going to do? It's fun getting something in nearly every pack, and with that, here are some of the highlights:

- David Price Autographed Letter Patch card gold parallel (numbered to 10)
- Conor Gillaspie Autographed Letter Patch (numbered to 107)
- 2009 Rookie Card Redemption #8
- Rafael Furcal green refractor (numbered to 99)
- 5 blue refractors (all numbered to 399)
    - Justin Upton
    - Scott Kazmir
    - Aramis Ramirez
    - Lance Berkman
    - Nick Markakis
- 4 refractors
    - Roy Oswalt
    - Michael Young
    - Justin Upton
    - Delmon Young


All in all, not too bad. And where is the video camera? Well, sometimes it's just easier and faster to post it in this manner.

2009 SPx Baseball
Posted by Tuff stuff

On this Good Friday, we bring you a box of baseball goodness:

2009 SPx Baseball
  • 4 cards/pack
  • 18 packs/box ($120)

The box asks collectors to look for Joe DiMaggio career highlight cards, and we received a couple of those, all numbered to 425.

78111.JPGThe cards themselves have a modern design geared more toward the younger generation with good photography of "cut-out" players. However, the real draw is the "four jersey cards and one autograph card per box."

Well, we did a little better than that, with two autographed cards and five jersey cards. They went a little like this:

  • Vernon Wells Chirography auto card
  • Chris Carpenter Game Patch Autograph (numbered to 23)
  • Johnny Damon Flashback Fabrics (dual swatch)
  • Matt Holiday and Jeff Baker Winning Materials
  • Lance Berkman Winning Materials
  • Hanley Ramirez Game Jersey
  • Francisco Liriano Game Jersey.

Getting seven hits in 18 packs made opening the product a treat, even better when opened during the first week of the baseball season.
