1993 Topps Finest Refractors?'s

alohaet

How many cards in this set? How many of each player? Was this a very limited run? What are the prices of these cards in PSA 9? What are the real difficult #'s to get? Thanks for your time.

You may want to do a search on this as it has been covered in the past. I believe some people feel that these are not as limited as first thought. Don't remember all the details of why that is. Anyone want to chime in and help out my fading memory

There are 199 players in the set. The rumor is that there are 241 refractors of each player. The number 241 is based on an announced case count of 4000 twelve box cases and an insertion rate of 1 per 18 packs or one per box.

I tend to believe the following cut and past of an old Usenet post.

Actually, I'm almost positive the odds were 1 in 15 packs.
I remember reading it somewhere (probably the Topps Press release - they
sent out 2 press releases about a month apart - the first was for a 198 card
set (no Piazza) and the second was to inform dealers of their inclusion of
Rookie Superstar Mike Piazza) plus we opened 24 boxes of '93 Finest and it
seemed every fifth box had 2 refractors the rest had 1 -- we got 30
refractors out of 24 boxes, the best of them was Don Mattingly & George
Brett.

The above give a count of 301.5075 per player. The .5075 card is considered a MC by PSA.

As for prices on PSA 9s. Depends on if there is a bidding war. Last Howard Johnson PSA 9 went for $521.00. The previous PSA 9 sold for $100.

I can picture Randy Myers kids are out there crying because they just can't seem to find a '93 Refractor of their daddy. Little do they know it's because PHIL HAS THEM ALL!!!

Not to worry, I sent Randy a basket of fruit for the Kiddies.
