Review:
One of the hobby’s longest running premium brands is back for another go-round. And, as usual, it
doesn’t disappoint. Topps Finest is one of the company’s most successful lines, spanning all sports and
packing a regular punch. 2007 Topps Finest Football is no exception.
As always, high quality chrome cards with tons of parallels and autographs highlight a box of Finest. This
year’s design isn’t the strongest one we’ve seen (actually, it’s kinda boring), but the player selection and
quantity of rookies and parallels more than makes up for that. Refractors, colored Refractors and Xfractors
abound, with the colored variety carrying numbers that decrease from color to color. In addition, each
6-pack mini-box comes with three Finest Moments inserts, featuring dozens of today’s stars and rookies.
These cards, of course, also come in Refractors and colored Refractor variations. Each full box also has
two one-card boxtopper packs, featuring special cards of Vince Young and Reggie Bush #ed to 899 or
less, but these cards are just icing on the whole box.
The real allure to Finest, if Refractors aren’t your thing, that is, are the rookie cards and autographs (which
sort of go hand-in-hand, when you think about it). All of the new NFL stars are here, from Russell and
Quinn to Lynch and Peterson, falling either one or two per pack. The autograph pulls lean very heavily
towards the rookies, as well, and span both the regular set and the Finest Moments inserts. Yes, there are
plenty of vets on the checklist, but more than likely, you’ll grab three rookies, which might not be a bad
thing if you are lucky to pull ones of the big guns in a good rookie class. There are some dual autographs,
too, for the very lucky (such as me this time around!!!).
There are higher priced products out there, as well as lower. If you can afford to spend the extra couple of
dollars, this is a solid buy. You’ll be getting plenty of rookie cards and one autograph per mini-box, which is a pretty solid way
of checking out a product.
I’ve always been a fan of the whole Finest line. This design knocks the grade down a hair, but it is still a quality
product.......................
