Yea man love the 95-96 finest refractors those were high end back in the day. I think the Hasek sterling silver refractor is one of my favorite Hasek cards ever made I have three or so of them.

95-96 Finest is an iconic set. Doesn't it also have some hobby craziness attached with the Rare Gold Jagr's?

It does! Topps stated that there were no more than 150 copies of the Jagr; two guys proved that there were, in fact, more by acquiring like 170-something copies. I believe Topps had a similar issue with the Greg Maddux gold refractors that year as well and ended up getting sued over it.

I like that it has that urban legend type history attached to it, adds some flavor to the set. Many times I contemplated doing the set, it is a dandy.
 
I am working on the Go Top shelf set and they are not easy to find even with a print of 2000. I find a lot of the Donruss and Leaf sets from the 90's with print counts of 2000, 2500 and even 5000 can be tough to find. There must be piles of those inserts sitting somewhere
