16_Topps Finest Baseball-IchiroRed What: 2016 Topps Finest baseball cards
Arrives: June 8, 2016
Box basics: One autograph per mini box -- two mini boxes per master box with six packs of five cards in each one.

What's buzz-worthy: Back for its 24th year, Finest once again includes a mini-box configuration to help more collectors enjoy the colorful high-energy and autograph-fueled brand. Among the highlights this year? Ichiro Suzuki autographs and a Ken Griffey Jr. tribute set.

Keep reading for more and a full gallery of images.

The Basics: The standard set here will consist of 100 cards with 10 parallels -- Refractor, Prism, Purple, Blue, Green, Gold, Orange, Red, Superfractors and 1/1 printing plates. All will be numbered, but right now only the Orange (/25), Red (/5) and 1/1 volumes are known. ... There also will be 10 short-printed cards capping the set. ... New this year will be Franchise Finest and 1996 Finest Intimidators inserts that will have Orange (/25), Red (/5) and 1/1 Super parallels. These two inserts also will have autographed parallels with volume still TBD.

The Griffey tribute will be dubbed Finest Careers and be a 10-card diecut set found one per case. These cards will have autographed versions limited to just five copies along with Orange (/25), Red (/5) and 1/1 Super versions. ... Other signed inserts here will be found on Finest Greats cards (one per case with the Gold/Orange/Red/Super/plates rainbow) as well as Finest Originals, which will be buybacks from past products with ink added. ... The standard autographs found two per box will be Finest Autographs and Finest Firsts. The Firsts set will focus on rookies and have a full rainbow (Green/Gold/Orange/Red/Super/plates) while the other set will add Blue to the rainbow and focus on veterans.
