2010 Topps Finest hobby box

Description

The 2010 edition of Topps' Finest Baseball is scheduled for release, exclusive to Hobby outlets, in late-March 2010. Finest’s base set is comprised of 170 cards (125 veterans, 25 rookies and 20 Autographed Letter Patch Rookies).

New for 2010 are one-of-one signed on-patch In the Name X-Fractor Rookie Book Cards.

Also back are Finest Moments autographs, a 20-card checklist that includes key players during key moments in the 2009 season. These will be found with Red Refractors (25) and new Purple Refractors (1/1s).

Distribution

As has been the case since 2002, Finest will be distributed in six-pack, five-card, "mini-boxes," with two mini-boxes per master box. Each mini-box will deliver one serial-numbered signed-on-patch Rookie Card and five serial-numbered Refractor parallels. Every master box will yield one 2010 Rookie Card redemption.

Each mini-box has an MSRP of $50.
