	Randomly inserted into packs at the rate of one per Master Hobby box were ten Rookie Redemption cards, each sequentially-numbered 1-10. Similar to the "Red Hot Rookies" from flagship, Topps would announce over the course of the 2009 season who each Rookie Redemption was good for.		Randomly inserted into packs at the rate of one per Master Hobby box were ten Rookie Redemption cards, each sequentially-numbered 1-10. Similar to the "Red Hot Rookies" from flagship, Topps would announce over the course of the 2009 season who each Rookie Redemption was good for. Unlike the Red Hot Rookies, these cards are virtually indistinguishable from the base set.

	2009 Finest Baseball is a 164-card set released by Topps, exclusively to Hobby outlets, on April 20th, 2009. The last 14 cards in the base set make up an Autographed Rookie Letter Patch subset, with each card being serial-numbered to various levels. While Finest has had autographed rookies before, this was the first time Finest had used manufactured letter patches for the autographs -- which was not well received by collectors.		2009 Finest Baseball is a 164-card set released by Topps, exclusively to Hobby outlets, on April 20th, 2009.
