I'm thinking about putting a deposit down on a case of 2011 Topps Finest. It doesn't get released for a few more weeks but I was hoping to pull some rookies of Julio Jones, Ingram and Newton. It's either that or a case of 2011 Panini Rookie & Stars. Which would you go with?

Release Date: 08/17/11

Im not a big FInest fan. However, with the other choice being Rookies and Stars, go with Finest. For the rarer numbered Super refractors in Finest, you'll clearly get more bang for your buck.

Finest.

Thanks for the input, Finest seems to be the overwhelming choice. The only reason I was considering PRS was that it had more auto per box but Finest was my first choice too!

my vote would be too take how much the case is going to cost and buy a ton of those rookies that you mentioned you wanted

Yeah, I do that most of the time but every once in a while I enjoy breaking some wax too!
