Description
2011 Finest is a 100-card set that was released on October 11, 2011. In a change for the brand, Topps has pushed back the release of Finest from just before Opening Day, to just before the end of the season. Another change is the elimination of the much-maligned manufactured letter patches and rookie redemptions.
The base set consists of 100 veteran cards with 19 autographed rookies. Each autographed rookie will be serial-numbered and seeded at the rate of one-per 12-pack box. Each box will also include an autographed rookie dual relic, two Finest Moments inserts, and six Refractor parallels.
Distribution
Six cards per pack; two, six-pack, mini boxes per box (MSRP: $50). Hobby only.

Unlike previous years, the rookies will be available both autographed and un-autographed. Every other six-pack mini box will contain an Autographed Rookie card.

It appears that all cards in this set will be autographed on-card.
It does not appear that any of the Autographed Rookies will be available in a non-Refractor, or "plain vanilla" versions.
All 19 of the Autographed Rookies are available in the following Refractor parallels.

Mini-boxes NOT containing an Autographed Rookie, will instead yield an Autographed Rookie Dual Relic. Each card will have a sticker autograph on a card with two different pieces of game-used memorabilia.
Again, like with the Autographed Rookies, each Autographed Rookie Dual Relic card will be serial-numbered, but the exact production has yet to be revealed.
