What's buzz-worthy: Topps' Finest brand enters the Octagon for the first time in more than a decade with a mix of stars and plenty of the color and flash collectors know for this brand -- but with three formats all packing their own exclusives.

The Basics: There will be 300 cards in the base set here with an absolute mess of parallels across three packaging formats -- around 50 types -- and joining them in the insert card lineup are Chaos, Intimidators, Finishers and Headliners with their parallels only found in hobby boxes -- standard Refractor, Checkerboard, Die-cut (/75), Gold (/50), Black (/25), Red (/5) and 1/1 Superfractors. Case-level chase inserts include Centurions (one in 48 packs) and Bombardiers (one in 480). ... Autograph parallels also will be hobby-only finds with Finest autos, Finest rookie autos, Intimidators autos and UFC Fight Glove autos (/25) in the mix. Gloves will only have Supers for parallels in hobby, while the other sets will have standard Refractor, Blue Checkerboard (/75 max), Gold (/50), Black (/25), Red/Black Vapor (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Superfractors.

In mega boxes, the inserts will be Chaos, Intimidators, Finishers and Headliners with their parallels being Shimmer texture in Red, Gold (/39) and Green (/93). The Fight Glove Die-cut inserts will be one in 120 packs for a case-level chase. Autos will have Red Shimmer and Gold Shimmer (/39 max) in this format. ... In blasters, the parallels switch to a Glitter texture in Aqua, Yellow (/75) and Tangerine (/50) with the Glove cards one in 240. For autos, Aqua Glitter will be the only finds for the three main sets.
