2011 Topps : American Pie Trading Cards

A Celebration of American Pop Culture

2011 Topps : American Pie Trading Cards

The third series of American Pie Trading Cards were released on December 14, 2011, by The Topps Company, Inc. The 2011 American Pie series showcases memorable figures and moments throughout American history from 1945 to 2011. Each box contains 24 packs with 8 cards per pack. Packs with a relic, stamp, cut signature, coin, or patch will contain fewer than 8 cards. Each card has a foil parallel found in approximately 1:4 packs and a "Spotlight" parallel that is serial numbered to 76.

Christopher Reeve appears in the base set on card #130: "Reeve's first major movie role was actually two: the title character in Superman: The Movie and the Man of Steel's civilian counterpart, Clark Kent. Two months of rigorous training helped the 25-year-old actor beef up his 6-foot-4 frame. Christopher's acclaimed portrayal in the 1978 film made him an instant star internationally and spawned three sequels."

The "Hollywood Walk of Fame" insert set showcases 50 different stars honored at the historic landmark in Los Angeles, California. The odds of finding an a "Hollywood Walk of Fame" insert are approximately 1:3 packs. Variants of the "Hollywood Walk of Fame" cards contain a manufactured star patch serial numbered to 50. The odds of finding a patch relic are 1:278 packs.

Christopher Reeve appears on card HWF-5. Reeve was presented with a sidewalk star at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard on April 15, 1997. "Reeve, the descendant of a host of prominent politicians and jurists, attained global stardom as the lead in 1978's Superman: The Movie. Even after becoming a quadriplegic in an equestrian accident, he worked when possible and used his celebrity for charitable causes."

American Pie includes Autograph and Autograph Relic cards for actor Dean Cain. Cain portrayed Superman and Clark Kent in Lois & Clark: the New Adventures of Superman, and Dr. Curtis Knox in Smallville. "Dean, formerly a football player at Princeton who signed with the Buffalo Bills, is most recognized as the star of Lois & Clark: the New Adventures of Superman, which aired from 1993–97. He continues to work successfully in TV, film, and commercials."

"Fads & Fashions" inserts are found in approximately 1:4 packs. Card FF-1 showcases the Hawaiian milk cap game known as POGs. The game pieces featured in the photo are not officially licensed by the World POG Federation. Serrated disks are known as Tazos in some Spanish speaking countries.

Original cards throughout the history of Topps have been stamped in gold foil and reissued as Buyback inserts. Buyback card odds are approximately one per box. Buybacks have been observed from 1978 Superman: The Movie, 1980 Superman II, and the 1983 Superman III trading card sets. Topps reissued Superman buyback cards in the 2002 American Pie: Spirit of America Edition and the 2013 Topps 75th Anniversary series.
