[[1993 Select]] is a 405-card, single-series, set produced by Pinnacle Brands. Seeking a niche in the premium, mid-price market, Select was marketed as a set that wasn't quite as "premium" as Pinnacle, and was quite as "base" as Score. '93 Select was released in December 1992 and was buttressed by an extravagant marketing campaign that included a series of TV commercials that aired during ESPN's coverage of the 1992 MLB Expansion Draft.


1993 Select is notable for Pinnacle debuted its trademark Dufex printing technology on all the insert cards.
[[2009 SP Legendary Cuts]] is a 200-card set released by Upper Deck June 3rd, 2009. The last 100 base cards are short-printed and are serial-numbered to 550 copies. Each 12-pack Hobby box will yield one short-print, seven 20th Anniversary inserts, three game-used memorabilia cards, and one dual memorabilia card. Each 16-box case should contain one 20th Anniversary memorabilia card, two autographs, two cut signatures, and one Mystery Cuts redemption card.


Subset cards include Draft Picks and Rookies, both sprinkled throughout the latter part of the set. Rookie Cards in this set include Derek Jeter, Jason Kendall and Shannon Stewart -- the Jeter being perhaps, his least desirable RC.

[[2016 Topps Archives Signature Series All-Star Edition]] was released exclusively to Hobby outlets August 30th, 2016. As with the [[2015 Topps Archives Signature Series|previous year's product,]] each box contains one encased autographed buyback card which is stamped as coming from this product and serial-numbered.


Rather than the plastic "slabs" Topps had used in the past (in brands like Topps Tribute and eTopps), each card is encased in an off-the-shelf BCW Mini Snap magnetic holder with a sticker sealing it shut. Since One Touch holders can only fit standard-sized (2 1/2" X 3 1/2") cards, all pre-1957 Topps cards (which measure 2 5/8" X 3 3/4") used in this product are encased in top-loaders.

As the subtitle of the product's name suggests, each player was at one point in their career an All-Star.  New for 2016 are multi-player autographs and autographed game-used Relic cards.

On April 22nd, Topps announced drastic changes in 2016 Finest's distribution.  Those Hobby dealers who pre-ordered Finest directly from Topps would have their orders honored. (Finest was solicited to Hobby dealers from November 25th, 2015 to January 13th, 2016 at a direct price of around $600 for an eight-box case.) However, reportedly due to low pre-sales, Topps would not make Finest available to Hobby distributors or to online retailers and instead would sell it directly on the Topps.com website for $99.99 a box or $799.89 for an eight-box case.
