In 2014 I had decided to start a set build of the 2014 Finest Baseball /199 Green Refractor set.

I liked the set design, many people said it was ugly, but the players in the set and and design stuck with me. I decided to try to build base set along with the refractor set, the xfractor set, and the "orange hot box refractor" set, along with my first numbered set, the /199.

I got really close, down to two cards, and just a few missing from my other sets. This was in 2015. Since then, I've completed the refractor sets and even the /125 blue refractor set, but have yet to find two cards for the green reactors:

#75 Masahiro Tanaka, NY Yankees RC
#84 Travis D'Arnaud, NY Mets RC

Can someone prove me wrong on this?

Ive spoken with reps from Topps on this a few times, with the response that they print every card and they're all out there, probably in a box somewhere. Talked to Topps reps at the nationals a few times with no good answer. Ive looked through Ebay listings and sold listings without any hits.

COMC has one sold listing of #84 and zero from #75.

I have been looking for 5 years now. Does anyone have these cards? Will trade in your favor.

I just looked through mine only have Wilmer Flores and Justin Upton /199 wish I could have helped. Good luck I’m sure you’ll find them eventually.

Searching on PWCC's tracker, it doesn't appear that either of these has ever sold on eBay. There's a few hits on Tanaka if you search for 2014 Finest Green Tanaka, but I don't think any of them are that card.

I do remember a few early auctions i searched from Ebay sold listings being listed as greens, but were actually a blue /125 or something else.

I had read they had started tracking, but I didn't know about this. Is this open to anyone to search, or do i have to sign up? and is it free?

You have to sign up for an account, but it's free.

checked mine & I have the Tanka /125 and D'Arnaud /99, none on the /199 though.

You would think at that time the Tanaka would have sold at least by 50% thru a few years.
I cant find anything....is there a checklist error?

That's my guess, i never got legit answers from Topps about whether they were made or not.

Still waiting on both to surface. I've seen the cards on pretty much all other variations. I should try to touch base with topps again and see if I can get to someone that can give me a better answer.

Thanks all for looking
