1997-98 Topps Finest Basketball Card Overview: The 1997–98 Topps Finest Michael Jordan "Finishers" (#39) card with its original protective coating is a classic, highly collectible 1990s insert that remains very sought-after by basketball card hobbyists. Why It Is Collectible: The Coating Factor: Topps Finest cards from this era featured a peel-away protective plastic film. Cards that still have the original film completely intact ("with coating") are much harder to find in pristine condition today. Nostalgia: The Topps Finest brand is famous for its metallic sheen and embossed "Finishers" lettering, representing the peak of Jordan's second three-peat era with the Bulls. Condition Sensitivity: Because the coating protects the surface from scratching over decades, un-peeled copies that grade very high command massive price premiums.
