Maybe I'm showing my age..but I'm feeling pretty nostalgic about pulling refractors in the '93 Finest design..I was entering my sophomore year in college in the Fall of '93 and couldn't afford the '93 cards. I'm pretty excited for the set, especially the refractors!

I entered the raffle, why not... Here in California I have nothing better to do anyway than to possibly open overpriced retro-themed cards.

Just to round this out a bit more, in the last 15 seasons, only 2 pitchers have had over 60WAR, Verlander and Kershaw.

If I use 60 WAR as the breakpoint it looks like this:

1979-93 we only had 2 as well, Clemens and Ryan.
1979-93: 9 hitters led by Rickey
1993-07: 9 hitters led by Bonds
1993-07: 8 pitchers led by Randy
2005-19: 3 hitters
2005-19: 2 pitchers

So in summary, today's players really do suck lol

I have no idea how I missed this thread for so long, but is this raffle sign up still open? Not seeing anything on Topps website.

I fear that next year's MC membership purchase windows will look and feel a lot like this year's public sale.

I hope I'm wrong.

Has Topps even sent an email about this besides the one last week? I know people said it was going to release today but not even announcing the raffle seems weird...

Is everyone still getting “Group1” after entering the raffle or did they parse it out into different groups depending on when you entered?

I assume they are sending an email about the raffle today.
Some people just happened to notice yesterday as Topps had already prepared the arrangement and had it up on their website in advance prior to their announcement today or whenever (assumption).

The design matches with what the "Topps Baseball's Finest" looks like, it's a 1993 design.

So, while the image of box we've seen so far does not advertise any autos, maybe it is a possibility that autos will randomly be included...
I guess we'll find out in few hours.

FWIW, one of the base Acuna autos above was listed on ebay @ 2 weeks ago and the item was ended.
