2024 Topps Finest MLS Soccer Details
The 2024 Topps Finest MLS checklist has no shortage of things going on. From a somewhat complex base set to parallels to autographs and memorabilia and a slew of inserts, there’s a lot to take in.
At the hobby box level, collectors can expect to find a pair of autographs alongside a handful of inserts and Refractors.
2024 Topps Finest MLS Checklist Overview
For 2024, MLS Finest is shaking up its base set. The design is as flashy as ever but the set up is different. Keeping in line with other recent releases for the brand in other sports, it’s now taking a more clearly defined tiered structure with Common, Uncommon and Rare cards.

Autographs and Memorabilia Cards

Carrying over from 2024 Topps Chrome MLS are another batch of MLS Debut Patch Autographs. These one-of-a-kind cards have a special patch taken from the players’ first MLS jerseys.
Rather than being a standalone release this year, Renaissance Autograph Relics are randomly inserts in Finest packs. These have Gold (/10) and Ruby (/5) versions.
Legends Autographs spotlight stars from the past. Seven levels of parallels are numbered to 99 and under.
Now and Then Dual Autographs pair up two stars. These are tough with Black Refractors (/10), Red Refractors (/5) and Superfractors (1/1) being the lone parallels.
MVP Autographs are even tougher. Base versions are numbered to 5. These also have one-of-one Superfractors.
Finest Fabrics Relics are where collectors will find standard memorabilia cards. Base versions have 75 copies with additional Gold Refractors (/50), Orange Refractors (/25), Black Refractors (/10), Red Refractors (/5) and Superfractors (1/1) also available.
Additional Inserts
The 2024 Topps Finest MLS checklist has a broad mix of standard inserts. Some are on the common side while others are extremely scarce.
Finest Debuts (1:2 packs), Prized Footballers (1:3 packs) and Finest Dominators (1:6 packs) are the easier ones to find. All three of these have the same mix of Gold Refractors (/50), Orange Refractors (/25), Black Refractors (/10), Red Refractors (/5) and Superfractors (1/1). All three of these also have autographs for select cards with additional parallels.
Prized Footballers also have case hit Fusion variations that combine colors:
- Purple/Red – /60
- Yellow/Red
- Blue/Red – /45
- Orange/Red
- Green/Red – /25
- Pink/Red
- Red/Red – /5
- Black/Gold
- Rose Gold/Gold – 1/1
Shifting into more tough territory, MLS Pop Art are just two per case and have Orange Refractors (/25), Black Refractors (/10), Red Refractors (/5) and Superfractors (1/1).
HoloGlow Variations are case hits. Parallels here include Gold Refractors (/50), Orange Refractors (/25), Black Refractors (/10), Red Refractors (/5) and Superfractors (1/1).
New this year to Finest MLS are Team Logo cards.
The title for the toughest inserts in the product belong to Finest Idols. Bronze versions are 1:25 cases. Things escalate further with Silver (1:50 cases) and Gold (1:99 cases).
