2025 Topps Finest X-Men ’97 is a new release that takes the traditional Finest brand of cards and marries it with Topps’ new Marvel licensing agreement. In this case the focus of the product is the 1997 X-Men cartoon series. The set offers a variety of base cards with staged rarity, as well as several parallel versions, there are also a series of inserts to chase, including lenticular cards. The big chase cards in the release include voice actor autos and hand drawn sketch cards, but these are far from guaranteed hits in any box, but are rather considered to be case hits. Boxes instead offer a guarantee of refractor parallels. A full breakdown of the release can be found at Breakninja.com.
Matt’s Opinion: It is interesting to see the difference in approaches that Topps and Upper Deck take towards Marvel products. I feel that this release is light on the overall hit count and value, but there is little to compare with to date.
