2011 Topps Marquee
Description
2011 Topps Marquee is a 100-card set and was released on September 12th, 2011. Billed by Topps as "something for everyone at a mid-range price point," (although at $50/pack, that claim is a bit questionable) each five-card pack will contain: three base cards, a serial-numbered parallel, and either a serial-numbered autograph or a serial-numbered jumbo relic or multi-relic card. Each card will be printed on 48pt cardstock, a gauge not seen in a base set since Fleer's Flair sets of the mid-90s.
Marquee marks the return of Joe DiMaggio to Topps, whose rights had been under an exclusive contract to Upper Deck the past three years. In addition, boxing champion Manny Pacquiao signed for Marquee.
Each four-pack Hobby box will contain an on-card autograph, an autographed multi-relic card, a jumbo relic card, and a quad relic card.
Distribution
Four packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $50). 12 boxes per case. Hobby only.
Approximately 1200 12-box, cases were produced.
