2011 Topps Tier One
Description
2011 Topps Tier One, a 100-card set, was released on November 9, 2011. Each seven-card pack will yield three base cards, one parallel, 2 autographs and a relic. All cards will be printed on thick 64-point cardstock. This was the debut of the Tier One product, but would be the only one that had a base set.
NOTE: An autograph of boxer Manny Pacquiao is prominently displayed on the sell sheet, yet was not on the provisional checklist provided by Topps. A special "Top Tier" autograph of Pacquiao was eventually produced.
Distribution
One pack of seven cards per box. Hobby only.
