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.
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.

Rookie Letter Autographed Patch
Each player in the Autographed Rookie Letter Patch set has one different serial-numbered manufactured patch card for each letter of his last name. 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 30, 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".
