Orange parallels are numbered higher than gold parallels in finest. It has totally confused me.

Did Topps do this on purpose?

As far as I know, I don't recall an Orange parallel in Finest. Orange was a Bowman chrome low numbered parallel and a Topps chrome no numbered parallel.

I understand that, what I am saying is that it doesn't have to be numbered lower than Gold as this is not Bowman. Make sense? I see I could have clarified my point a little more and didn't.

How could it have been an accident?

Alex is right, there was never an orange parallel in Finest before this year.
I'm not sure why they keep changing the parallels in Finest - although I do like the die-cut atomic and purple refractors this year, only b/c there are so few.
But, IMO, they should've kept the ref, blue, green, black, gold, red refractors.
2006 was the BEST set off all time with the xfractors as well.

Expect a product called "Topps Superfractor" in the next five years where every card is a super except for the 1/1s which will be ordinary base.

What is this Topps you all speak of. Some kind of futuristic phone that will compete with Apple?Boylen33 said:

I'm feeling a little that way with the cognac and hope diamond parallels in Topps Update. I don't think they are needed and just adds to confusion. AFAIK, there is just one cognac parallel yet I've seen references to a normal cognac parallel and a *platinum* cognac parallel. Not to mention Topps screwed the pooch on manufacturing at least the cognac ones - from certain angles, it just looks like cognac colored foil overlay. It's only from certain angles that the "diamond" pieces can be seen on the card surface. I haven't pulled a hope one yet to see if the manufacturing of that card is the same way. One the silver-colored diamond platinum, you can see the "diamond" pieces from all angles.

They did something similar in the wildly popular 2005 Absolute Memorabilia. They had the jumbo jerseys (#/100) (I'm using Rickey- highest PR I can find- as my example), and then the cards with 6 pieces (#/50), 5 pieces (#/150), 4 pieces (#/150), 3 pieces (#/25), 2 pieces (#/150).
Then they had the single non jumbo cards, just one tiny window with a small piece of bat or jersey... and they were all 1/1s. I can't provide a picture because sadly, I was always outbid.
