2022 Finest Star Wars 2 box break and thoughts

Gidtheson · 07-29-2022, 09:11 PM

LCS got in 2 boxes, wife was awesome to grab them for me while I was at work. We broke them together and here is what we pulled.

Base cards. They have a very similar look as the last Chrome Perspectives. Instead of Finest, they could have called it Chrome II: The People.

Refractors. BB-8 is high # SP, got 1 out of the 2 boxes.

The Bad Batch inserts

The Mandalorian Inserts

Star Wars: The High Republic Concept Art
Characters from the literary Star Wars universe. These are cool, not characters I am familiar with. Unfortunately these are the only insert cards NOT to have a little blurb on the back about the front subject.

Book of Boba Fett inserts

CAUTION: CONDITION STATEMENT
Several of the cards that came out of undamaged boxes were very bowed. Not sure what conditions make this happen (end of the roll of paper stock?, Temperature fluctuation?) but this happens with the chrome finished cards sometimes.

Color and autos:
"First Order Stormtrooper" makes their first appearance

G.Wave /99
Along with mama Erso.
Green Refractors /99
Blue Refractors /150
Gold Refractor /50

Sketch Card: Artist Patricio Carrasco

LET'S GO!!

I managed to hit 3 autos and a sketch out of the two boxes which I would think is unusual. But hey, i'll take it.

It has the initial feel of just another Chrome product, but the Gold Refractors, short print Resistance inserts, and high number SP's give it a little variation. Like chicken soup vs turkey soup, you can tell the difference but they have a lot of the same ingredients.

Congrats on the Felicity auto! And 3 autos plus a sketch in two boxes is great, it will be interesting to see if we see more 2 hit boxes out there.

These are supposed to be two hits per box.

Congrats

In the past, one of the "hits" has been a manufactured medallion or patch card style, the 2018 Finest product with the lightsaber hilts was one of the better ones.
I was expecting something similar for 2022 also, but if there are two auto/sketch per box consistently that would be a better value.

Felicity Jones looks like real nice card! Congrats!

I don't have ton experience with Star Wars chrome products, but I think some my chrome cards from previous sets have similar slight bow.
