Frequently asked
What makes this set special compared to regular 2020 Topps releases?
It's a direct throwback to 1993 Finest, the set that started chromium baseball cards. The 199-card count mirrors the original, and the design echoes that classic look. It was also exclusive to topps.com, making it harder to find than standard retail releases.
What are the key rookie cards to hunt?
Luis Robert (#59), Kyle Lewis (#133), and Bo Bichette (#190) are the marquee rookies. Other notable RCs include Eloy Jimenez (#12), Gavin Lux (#18), and Yordan Alvarez (#40). Many of these have autograph versions available.
How do the Refractor parallels work?
Every base card comes in five Refractor tiers: base Refractor (1:18 packs), Gold (/50, 1:18 packs), Black (/25, 1:36 packs), Red (/5, 1:176 packs), and Superfractor (1/1, 1:880 packs). The guaranteed Refractor per box is typically a base or Gold.
Are autographs common in this product?
No. Base autographs hit about 1 per 6 boxes (1:108 packs). The 32-card autograph set includes current stars and rookies, all serial-numbered to 20. All-Star autographs are also available but at the same rate. Buyback autos of Hall of Famers are extremely rare at 1:2,260 packs.
What's included in every hobby box?
You get 18 packs of 5 cards each, one guaranteed Refractor parallel, one Gold Refractor, and one Jumbo All-Star box topper. The Jumbo All-Stars are oversized versions of the 33-card All-Star subset.
Who are the biggest names in the set?
Mike Trout, Ronald Acuña Jr., Mookie Betts, Juan Soto, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Bryce Harper are the top stars. The All-Star subset (cards 84-116) features 33 of the 2019 MLB All-Stars, including Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, and Jacob deGrom.
Was this product worth the $55 original price?
Collectors seemed to think so. The set has a 7.6 rating on TCDB and secondary market prices quickly climbed well above retail. The guaranteed Refractor per box, strong rookie class, and exclusive online release drove demand, though availability was limited.
What are the best inserts in 2020 Finest Flashbacks?
Worth keeping an eye out for: Refractors (all colors) (1:18 packs (base Refractor); 1:880 packs (Superfractor 1/1)), Base Autographs (1:108 packs), All-Star Autographs (1:108 packs (base rate)), 1993 Finest Buyback Autographs (1:2,260 packs), Jumbo All-Stars.
