#183 Andris Biedrins XRC
#184 Robert Swift XRC
#185 Sebastian Telfair XRC
These are similar to the Topps Finest redemption cards we see today in Baseball. It should be noted that the RC cards in 03/04 Finest including LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh all have XRC cards in 02/03 Topps Finest Basketball. These redemption cards really helped sales of Topps Finest basketball and I’m surprised that Panini has never tried the same thing during the 09/10 Basketball season.

The ‘base’ Rookie cards in Topps Finest Basketball are serial numbered out of #/999. The lack of a LeBron James Autograph Rookie doesn’t hurt the value of this set. Collectors mainly hunt for the Chris Bosh #177, Dwyane Wade #158 and Carmelo Anthony #163. These are sticker autographs – but it was in a time where collectors didn’t mind them as much as today. The sharp card stock of these cards make them ripe for grading and many of the top players have been slabbed.
03/04 Topps Finest Basketball – Refractor Cards
Cards Serial #/250
This Finest set was interesting because some of the refractor cards contain relic jersey pieces … and some have an autograph and a jersey piece (like the Carmelo Anthony pictured). Note that relic cards #101 – #130 have a gold parallel version #/25 … and relic cards #1 – #100 listed below have a gold parallel with no relic. Also, the Gold Refractor RC cards have an Autograph only.
