Topps Finest Refractor- peeling the coating off...

Mozzie22 · Aug 26, 2010

Just wondering if you guys peel off the coating from Finest or if you leave it on. If you do take it off is there a trick to getting it off or does it just peel off easily?

Leave it on.

Finest is applied a little better than Pinnacle and others. Start with the corner and rub your thumb perpendicular to the edge.

Peel! I always peel, no matter what the card. I even peeled my 96 Select mirrors. Those were tricky and I actually had to use tweezers. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have the hands of a surgeon.

I peel lots of cards, 1996 is the HARDEST!

It's definitely an adrenaline rush, haha. Even more so when I got my first one, and was really guessing if there was a peel on the card. I didn't know prior that they had them. I kept messing with the corner, trying to see if it had a peel, hoping I wasn't ruining a $200 card. They look amazing peeled, though.
