2024 Topps Finest Baseball Gets a Revamp

So long mini boxes.  Farewell small base set. 2024 Topps Finest Baseball is getting a makeover.

The annual mid-summer release will still have plenty of color and chrome but the configuration has changed and the base set is bulking up

Topps has dumped the two mini-boxes per Hobby box format, replacing it with six standard packs of ten cards each so the card count isn’t changing. Boxes will still offer two autographs. 

Cases will hold eight boxes.

Base Set

The base set goes from 125 cards to 300, but some cards will be more difficult to pull than others. Topps is going to a three-tiered set with the first 100 cards considered “common,” followed by 100 more “uncommon” cards falling one per pack and 100 “rare” cards with two typically found in each box.  Mike Trout is card #1 (see the full checklist below) but it’s a checklist heavy on rookies–some impactful, others not so much. Some players will have cards across all three tiers.

There will be more than a dozen parallels, with all utilized across each of the three tiers.

Inserts

Finest will serve up numerous inserts sets including Finest Rookie Design Variations, Future So Bright, What If 1993 Finest Prototypes, Fiesta (Latin American players), Finest Timelines (all-time greats including Lou Gehrig, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax, among others), Diamond Finest, Let’s Go, Arrivals (all rookies) and Finest First Die-Cuts (more rookies).

Autographs

Finest Autographs put signatures on the base cards with a multitude of parallel possibilities. Rookie Design Variations, Finest Moments, 1993 Finest Prototypes, Future So Bright and Finest First Die-Cuts (a small checklist of rookies) are the other subsets where ink can be found.

Boxes of 2024 Topps Finest are online now for around $265.
