2017 Finest

Description

2017 Finest is a 125-card set, released by Topps on June 7th. After controversially (and unsuccessfully) distributing 2016 Finest exclusively on their e-commerce website, the 2017 edition returns as a Hobby-only release. Each box will yield two autographs.

Distribution

Five cards per pack, six packs per mini-box (MSRP: $60). Two mini-boxes per Hobby box. Eight Hobby boxes per case. Hobby only.

Oversized Parallels

Topps produced two oversized parallels, and sold them exclusively on topps.com: 5X7 Factory Set and 10X14 Posters. There are four sets in each format: The base set (which only includes the first 100 cards), the 20-card Breakthoughs insert (see below), the 20-card 1994-95 Basketball insert, and the ten-card Firsts insert.

As with other similar topps.com exclusive oversized sets, only 49 serial-numbered 5X7 Factory Sets and ten Gold 5X7 Factory Sets for each set were produced. The base set cost $199.99 while the Gold set cost $399.99. The Breakthoughs and 1994-95 Basketball sets were $39.99 (standard) and $79.99 (Gold), while the standard Firsts set was $19.99 and the Gold set $39.99.

The same sets were also reproduced in a 10X14 Poster format. Unlike the 5X7 Factory Sets, each card's poster was sold individually at $24.99 for a standard poster (limited to 99 posters) and a one-of-one Gold poster for $99.99 -- EXCEPT for the four one-of-one Gold posters of Aaron Judge which sold for $199.99.
