Frequently asked
Who's 2023-24 Finest for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
Why is Victor Wembanyama such a big deal in this product?
Wembanyama is the consensus top pick from the 2023 rookie class and has multiple card types in Finest, including base rookies, Rookie Finest Autographs, and insert cards. His rookie cards are the primary chase for most collectors opening this product.
What's the difference between Common, Uncommon, and Rare base cards?
The 300-card base set is split into three tiers. Commons are #1-100 (most frequent), Uncommons are #101-200 (1 per pack guaranteed), and Rares are #201-300 (1 per 3 packs). Each tier has its own parallel versions.
How many autographs will I get per box?
Every hobby box contains exactly 2 autographs. They can be rookies like Wembanyama or Scoot Henderson, established stars like Stephen Curry or Kevin Durant, or legends from the past.
What are Refractors and why do collectors hunt them?
Refractors are chromium parallels with rainbow-like finishes that are the signature look of Finest. They come in multiple color tiers from basic Refractors to ultra-rare Superfractors (1/1), with Gold, Black, and Red versions in between.
What makes Centurions and The Man so hard to pull?
Both are short-print inserts with no parallel versions. Centurions hit at 1:54 packs and The Man at 1:480 packs, making them case-hit level rarity. Neither has color parallels, so the base version is the only version.
Is this product licensed by the NBA?
No, Topps Finest Basketball doesn't have NBA licensing, so there are no official logos or trademarks on the cards. However, Topps does have Players Association licensing, which allows them to use player names and likenesses.
What other star players are in the base set?
The set includes LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, and Devin Booker, plus legends like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Dennis Rodman.
How does this compare to the last Finest Basketball release?
This is the first Finest Basketball with current NBA players since 2007. The 2021 and 2022-23 releases featured retired players and Overtime Elite prospects, so this return to active rosters is a major event for the brand.
What are the best inserts in 2023-24 Finest?
Worth keeping an eye out for: Rookie Finest Autographs, Finest Autographs, Centurions (1:54 packs), The Man (1:480 packs), Refractors (1:6 hobby packs), Debut.
