2012 Topps Finest look

markakis8 · Mar 5, 2012

Surprised no one posted this yet. Finest is by far my favorite set. And it looks like the design is going to battle 2009 for best look in the past decade or so.

Topps is really bringing back the die-cut this year.

Face of the Franchise and Finest Moments inserts look sweet.

Doing the same thing for Bowman Platinum.

Die-cuts with stickers...pardon me while I soil myself with jubilation.

rock ON!

I like the look to the set this year, but really, a Sergio Santos RC? I have his Gold Refractor RC from 10 YEARS AGO. I know it doesn't really matter, but these RC rules are silly.

EDIT: Just noticed i was looking at the 2011 checklist, whoops. Still, 9 years later is ridiculous for a RC.

But on topic, seriously enjoying the look of the die cuts this year, and that Cabrera/Fielder/Verlander auto looks amazing.

I love this set every year. For Upton I saw both the super and canary from 2011 but really have no chance at getting them. Maybe I'll fair better in 2012.

Do I have a right to complain if, when I pull the 01/25 Die-Cut AU Verlander, the auto doesn't look the same? :mrgreen:

Looks cool. I can't wait for a triple auto of Weaver, Haren, and Wilson. I was hoping Finest would have that, but maybe not....

The card design of Finest is waaaay better than platinum, based on the sell sheet. The platinum auto design...is terrible.

MOFNY · Mar 5, 2012

I only hope Oswalt will be in it. At this point it's not looking so good.

thefatguy · Mar 5, 2012

Yawn
Topps design is just awful.

Lets keep this to 1 preview thread please :lol:

I'm not sure why people are still confused by this.

Just because a player is drafted in 2002 and gets a prospect card, doesn't mean he doesn't get a "rookie card" when he finally makes it to the big leagues as a true rookie.

First Bowman Prospect card.....and then a RC logo card when they actually make it to the majors and fulfill the eligibility requirements.

I think Topps just messed up on the mock-ups; the base Finest Troy Tulowitzki has a RC logo...

Not even close to first Darvish auto.

Doesn't come out till August 8th...which is hella late for Finest.

There will be several Darvish cards/autos before then.

Unfortunately, people seem more concerned about whether the card will have a red boarder or a green boarder. Or etching.
