The online-only brand Finest Flashbacks returned for a second run. Year one must have done well as Topps raised the price of a box from last year's $55 to $199.99 for 2021.
The set consists of 220 cards. The first 200 are active players while the last 20 are short-printed retired players. There are seven Cubs total include on short-print.
The design mimics the look of the 1994 Finest. I suppose you could also call Finest Flashbacks "Finest Heritage." They are doing the same thing that Heritage does with Topps - work the the designs of the original one year at a time. Last year Flashbacks did the initial Finest release from 1993. This year they moved on to 1994.
And doing a little comparison,
here's a 1994 Finest next to a 2021 Flashbacks.
The 2021 Sandberg card has a different design...
because that's what the 1994 Sandberg looked like.
Wow $55 to $200 jaw dropping increase.
