Topps announced its second Finest redemption of the year on Friday and it’s Atlanta Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson.
The redemptions are found one in every master hobby box of 2009 Finest baseball cards.
Hanson made his big-league debut on June 7 against the Milwaukee Brewers — a no-decision — but has a 2-0 record with a 4.08 ERA after three starts. He’s struck out 12 and walked 10 this season.
Topps’ first Finest rookie was Cleveland’s Matt LaPorta. The company will unveil the remainder of the 10 rookies throughout the season. There also are redemptions for Refractor (#’d to 199) and Gold Refractor (#’d to 50) versions.
