Much like Topps Heritage borrows its designs from vintage Topps sets, Finest Flashback borrows from earlier Topps Finest releases. The 2022 Topps Finest Flashback set is based on the 1995 Topps Finest design, following the path of the 2021 set that was based on the 1994 design, and the 2020 set based on the 1993 initial Topps Finest release.
There are 20 additional short prints in the “base set”, numbered 201-220. All the short prints feature retired stars of the past. These include a few old-timers like Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and Jackie Robinson, plus a lot of the biggest stars of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Short prints are seeded at roughly one per box.

Refractors have long been a defining and popular part of the Finest offering. These shiny cards have unique look that has become quite well known throughout the hobby.
The standard Refractor is seeded roughly one per box (1:18 packs). Adding to the chase is a rainbow of rarer Refractor cards, including 1/1 Superfractors.

The Refractor Protector pays homage to the 1995 Topps Finest “film” that appeared over the top of cards in packs to protect from surface scratches. The idea was you could remove the protective film, or not.
While the 2022 cards do not have a removable film, they are printed with the “peel off” instructions from the original 1995 Topps Finest cards.
