2013 Topps 75th Anniversary Trading Cards

Topps 75th Anniversary Trading Cards were released by The Topps Company on December 11, 2013. The series reprints iconic non-sport cards from the history of Topps Chewing Gum.

The 100-card base set is printed on vintage card stock reminiscent of Topps Chewing Gum cards released prior to 1991. Parallel variations are printed on a modern white stock. Each pack includes one "Rainbow Foil" parallel card. Randomly inserted "Diamond Anniversary" variants are numbered to 75 copies. "Modern Gloss" parallels numbered to 10 are found in approximately 1:224 packs. CMYK printing plates are randomly inserted for each card. A sealed 1/1 blank-back parallel was sold separately by the Topps Vault.

2013 Topps 75th Anniversary #74 - 1978 Superman Night Flight (Rainbow Foil)

The Test Card subset includes reprints of "Blasting the Python" from Superman in the Jungle, a rare set issued in 1966. The series was penciled by Al Plastino. Inks and color separations were done by Norman Saunders. The 1966 series failed to grab consumer attention in American test markets. Superman in the Jungle was distributed in the UK by A&BC Gum Ltd.
