Random Card of the Day

Year: 1995

Set: Finest - Refractors (Rate)

Card: #232 Mike Mimbs


“ Always thought Finest was a misnomer. They were not the finest but I guess when you are comparing it to most Topps sets it doesn't take much. The front is decent. The back, I like the picture and that is about it. ” -davidhandberry

“ Fast forward 24 years later and we still have refractors. His identical twin brother was also a pitcher.Never been a fan of a protective coating with words telling me my card comes with a protective coating. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ Refractors are always awesome. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ As much as I have always enjoyed the earlier years of Topps Finest, I still dislike the protective coating you need to peel off to enjoy how nice the cards actually are. I peeled the ones in my collection. ” -YoRicha

“ Does anyone take the film off? ” -parsley24

“ I thought I had this card, but when I looked, I didn't. Turns out I have the base card, not the refractor. Third year of Finest in baseball, and despite the cheesy background graphics, I really like the set. And then for the RCOTD, it's a Phillies card, and I always like seeing that! ” -vrooomed

“ there is very little about this card or set that I like or can make a positive comment about. I was going to try to comment about the player but I am not familiar with him. I sort of recognize the name so I might have a card of his, or maybe I have a card of his twin brother Mark. Yeah I found out his twin brother also was a player. ” -captkirk42

“ Not crazy about the front - the background detracts from the picture of the player. The back, however, is beautiful. The layout is nice, and the picture of the player looks good. ” -georgecf

“ TOPPS FINEST PROTECTOR PEEL AND REMOVE COATING ” -Tylergallo

@parsley24: I always take the film off, unless it's a card I plan on trading or giving away.

Mine all time fave are X-Factors, but I love how technology makes these cool cards. I never understood the protective film over the cards from the 90's, as today they do not come this way. What's the best way to store your Chrome cards? I just have em in team bags, I used to penny sleeve them and put into bags, but I feel this is just creating waste.
