Tiered Base Set Structure

The 300-card base set is broken into three 100-card tiers:

  • Common
  • Uncommon
  • Rare

Each level features its own Refractor parallels, drawing from Topps' long heritage of bold chromium designs. Expect veterans, legends, and 60 of the game’s hottest rookies across the tiers.


Inserts — Inspired by the 90s

The 2024-25 Finest Basketball insert sets bring back some fan-favorite designs from the mid-to-late '90s era:

  • Arrivals (30 cards) – Bright and energetic rookie-focused design
  • Centurions (20 cards) – Case Hit
  • Debut (30 cards) – Highlighting iconic first appearances
  • Finishers (10 cards) – For the NBA’s most clutch scorers
  • Showstoppers (30 cards) – Flashy, fan-favorite talent

The popular The Man insert also makes its return as a short print chase card.


Autographs Galore

Each box includes two autographs, and there’s a deep pool of signers — from Hall of Famers to current superstars and top rookies. Key autograph sets include:

  • Finest Autographs
  • Finest Rookie Autographs
  • Flashback Autographs
  • Masters Autographs

All of the above come with multiple colored Refractor parallels for added rarity and visual appeal.

Breakers Delight Exclusives

Two additional autograph sets are exclusive to Breakers Delight boxes:

  • Electrifying Signatures
  • Colossal Shots

Both feature Geometric Refractor parallels, adding a modern edge to the product’s chase element.


Final Thoughts

2024-25 Topps Finest Basketball continues its modern revival with a nostalgic touch. The tiered base set and 90s-inspired inserts give collectors a blast from the past, while autographs and parallels keep the chase alive in every box. Whether you’re a longtime Finest fan or a new collector, this set blends history and heat perfectly.
