1994 Finest
Description
1994 Finest Baseball is a 440-card set released in two series of 220 cards each. Each series includes 40 special design Finest cards: 20 top 1993 rookies (1-20), 20 top 1994 rookies (421-440) and 40 top veterans (201-240). It's believed that these subset cards are in slightly shorter supply than the basic issue cards, but the manufacturer has never confirmed this. Some Series Two packs contained either one or two Series One cards.
Production of 1994 Finest was greatly increased over the previous year's set. The only notable Rookie Card is Chan Ho Park.
Distribution
24 packs per box, seven cards per pack.

Finest Pre-Production
This 40-card standard-size set was randomly inserted Topps Series Two packs and factory sets and was meant to preview the upcoming 1994 Finest set. The card numbers on back correspond to those of the regular issue. The only way to distinguish between the preview and basic cards is "Pre-Production" in small red letters on back.
