(LOT 1501)
1993 Topps Finest Basketball Refractor Complete Master Set of 221 Including 10 PSA-Graded and Both Pippen Variations
COMPLETE REFRACTOR SET!!! Following a successful launch in baseball, 1993-94 Topps Finest Basketball marked the brand's first foray into NBA trading cards. The all-chromium design of a large rookie crop and popular players from the early '90s, the 220-card set was created with a base card and a parallel refractor card. Cards have a lot of color on the front in random shapes and a light border surrounding the player's image. Their name displays in small font at the top of each card with the Topps logo placed in front of a basketball at the bottom left of the card, next to a Finest logo. When this set was created, it was a new style of card that has continued to evolve across multiple brands. The offered complete master set of 221 Refractors from the 1993-94 Topps Finest Basketball was painstakingly gathered by our consignor. Considering how rare these cards are based on a couple per box, it is easy to see how incredibly difficult it can be to assemble this set. Also, of the 221 cards, there are two #136, Jim Jackson and Shawn Kemp, and the #159card was not issued. There is also two variations of #208, Scottie Pippen, both are in this set, making this a master set of 221 cards. There are ten PSA-graded cards, all 8 NM-MT unless noted: #1 Jordan, #2 Bird, #3 Shaq, #21 Robinson, #76 Olajuwon, #99 Shaq, #105 Pippen, #109 Johnson, #189 Hardaway RC & #212 Webber RC PSA 7. The balance of the cards are all NM-MT or better. Great opportunity to pickup this Refractor set from the early '90s!
