1993 Topps Finest Refractors Complete Set Help
Does anybody here know anything about these cards and why they're so expensive? I know that they were limited print runs, but I didn't know that they were limited enough to warrant almost every card in the set to have a BV of over 25.00.
Also, I am thinking of buying a complete set for 90.00$, all cards are in Near Mint-Gem Mint condition...is this a good deal? Last edited by UOFLfan7; 07-13-2012 at 08:00 PM. |

1993 Refractors
This was really a break through set that helped jump-start the 'limited parallel' craze of the 90's. Before this set, the most popular insert sets were numbered to around 5,000; I forgot the exact number this set was limited to, i believe it was either 231 or 261, but either way, you get the point-this was an exceptionally rare set. As per the second part of your question- I hate doubt your card collecting knowledge-but I kind of have to...are you sure this isn't the base set (of regular Finest) which you can buy for $90??? For someone to spend that much time and money to build this set and sell it for that price...this set would sell on Ebay for a few thousand..

P.S.
Just to expand on my last comment, if you are 100% certain they are the refractor version it's the deal of a lifetime but if your not sure, research it-a lot of people (who aren't too familiar with Topps Finest) confuse the base cards for refractors

I have researched it and have made sure it was the refractors, but just to be cautious I will do a bit more research. Thanks for your help.
Here is a scan of some cards that the seller uploaded...these are Topps Finest Refractors correct? Last edited by UOFLfan7; 07-14-2012 at 12:25 AM. |

I believe those are the regular cards. The refractor cards woudl have more of a rainbow appearance.
