2008 Finest Baseball Autographs
FA-RM. Alan “The Rip Master” Narz”

So you’ve convinced your significant other that $100 is well spent on and 18-pack master box of 2008 Finest Baseball.

“But, hun, there’s three autographs in here.”

In the third pack, there it is - your first autograph. The significant other looks over, “Are those packs of baseball cards hanging from his jacket?”

Reality sets in. You just got The Rip Master’s autograph. Topps has included autographs of several personalities from their online Topps TV promotional videos in 2008 Finest Baseball. Although interesting in a corny way, they seem more akin to a promo card rather than an insert in a premium product. Sure, Narz’s sidekicks are pretty but there’s lots of products out there for those who want that.

So if you get the Rip Master, good luck explaining to your significant other why you opted for the box rather than heading out for dinner and a movie.
