Anyone ripping Topps Finest

solt0131 · 10-08-2007, 10:38 AM

Looks to be more content than last year and they made up the 50 rookies this year with all the good ones as well, as opposed to last year with just the bums.

1 case here. The Rookie Finest Moments inserts with all the top 06 & 07 rookies should be fun too.

the product info has 6 autos per master box.......... that isn't right.

also, where can i find a checklist. there's usually a link at the bottom of the info page.

I'm trying a case as well. I never ripped a case before so I'm very excited for that day to come. Last year I got extremely lucky buying boxes of Finest and pulled a Vince Young auto and Jay Cutler X-fractor auto in my first 3 boxes I bought. Needless to say with those high dollar rookie autos out of the way, I slowly put the entire rookie auto set together. I just completed it in March when I bought a Reggie Bush auto for a decent price.

Are the short print autos (#ed to 199) considered case cards for last years Finest?

willcvincent...... don't get too bent out of shape if you get skunked with your case. last year i busted an 8 box case and didn't get one sp auto.

with a product like this, i always expect to get shafted, but pray to get lucky.

good luck !!!!!!!!

Topps doesn't have case cards. That's something Upper Deck does. (For example, lots of 12-box, 24-pack Upper Deck products have 1:288 inserts.) The odds for Topps inserts are listed on the packs, but none of them divide out so they are 1:case.

The more I look at this, the more I like it. I was going to save for a few cases of B.C., but I may have to try one case of Finest now.

go_steelers07 · 10-08-2007, 05:45 PM

on the Topps website checklist for Finest, there are only 30 rookies with auto variations.

i like the fact that Quinn, Johnson, Peterson...etc all have regular base cards. this should be a better than average break.

I will probably break a few boxes out of boredom. I haven't had much luck with Finest the past few years.

My next case break will be Gridiron Gear next week. Did pretty good with only 4 boxes last year so I pre-booked a case early this year. The NFL Gridiron Rookie Sigs and NFL Team Pro and Rookie Sigs look pretty cool.

willcvincent · 10-08-2007, 06:18 PM

The one thing I'm worried about is getting multiple autos of the same player in the case. I also wonder if Topps is going to be more selective of what players they are short printing. Like last year Omar Jacobs and Derek Hagan were short prints, come on.

Did anyone bust a case and get duplicate autos from it?

jacobbigshow · 10-08-2007, 06:21 PM

When is it goint to finally be released? They said October 3rd and then changed the date.

Oh yes....that is the major problem with most Topps cases now a days. If I break a case of Finest, I'm pretty much assuming I won't get a bigger SP Auto and go from there.

solt0131 · 10-08-2007, 08:28 PM

Live date should be Oct. 17th now.

willcvincent · 10-12-2007, 06:13 PM

Did Finest get delayed again? I saw on the blowout case deals email that the scheduled release is November 7? I though it was supposed to come out on the 17th of Oct. The Topps website is still saying Oct 1 which all know that isn't true. That's Topps for ya.

I am guessing Bowman Chrome will probably be delayed then too...

willcvincent · 10-12-2007, 09:48 PM

If it holds true it will be the third time it has been pushed back. Oct. 1 to Oct 12 to Oct. 17 to Nov. 7th??? What next.

Yes I agree it is getting ridicoulous. I bought my case on September 30th thinking it would be shipped right away just to find out that I would have to wait 7 more days, then another 5 days, then another 5 days. I do not understand the delay at all.
