Each player in the Autographed Rookie Letter Patch set has one different serial-numbered manufactured patch card for each letter of his last name.  All autographs are signed on the letter part of the patch, making for a most illegible autograph.  The production figures listed below are the aggregate totals for ALL letters signed by the player.

For example, each Mat Gamel card (#151) is serial-numbered to 285 copies, but there are five different versions of this card (G-A-M-E-L) which when totaled together come to the 1425 figure listed below.

Description

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.

Distribution

Each Hobby box consists of two six-pack mini boxes, with five cards per pack. Each mini-box will contains five Refractor parallels and an autograph.

Autographed Rookie Letter Patch

David-Price-(Letter-C).jpg?id=dae984a7-eb55-4f08-8626-18f3a594d980&size=original&side=front&.jpg David-Price-(Letter-C).jpg?id=dae984a7-eb55-4f08-8626-18f3a594d980&size=original&side=back&.jpg

Each player in the Autographed Rookie Letter Patch set has a serial-numbered manufactured patch card for each letter of his last name. All autographs are signed on the letter part of the patch, making the autographs illegible. The production figures listed below are the aggregate totals for ALL letters signed by the player.

For example, each Mat Gamel card (#151) is serial-numbered to 285 copies, but there are five different versions of this card (G-A-M-E-L) which when totaled together come to the 1425 figure listed below.

NOTES:

  • Cards #152 and #163 packed out as redemption cards which expired April 30th, 2012.
  • Since the Boston Red Sox do not put player nameplates on the back of their Home jerseys, card #155 spells out "R-E-D-S-O-X".

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.

NOTES:

  • Although these cards share the same design as the base set, and have the "RC" icon, none of these cards are "true" rookie cards.
  • Card #10 was autographed.
  • All Rookie Redemptions expired April 30, 2010.

These cards are also available in the following parallels.

  • Refractor (serial-numbered to 199 copies)
