Description
Topps American Pie Cards
In 2011 Topps released the "American Pie" series of cards, which consists of 200 cards (in the base set alone) meant to represent American history from the 1940s to the 2000s. While Ghostbusters II is not part of the regular set, several foil-stamped Ghostbusters II "Buyback" cards were randomly inserted into the set (1:24 Hobby packs, less Retail). The buybacks are cards from the original series with a small "Topps American Pie" logo foil-stamped onto it. It is unknown just how many Ghostbusters II buyback cards there are.[1]
Topps 75th Anniversary Cards
To celebrate the company's diamond anniversary in 2013, Topps released a "Topps 75th Anniversary" trading card set containing reprints of cards from the various non-sports card series the companies has released over the past several decades. In addition to the base set of 100 cards, there are autographed cards and parallel variant sets. Ghostbusters II is represented by Card #92 (a reprint of Card #88 from the original set), and an autographed Ernie Hudson card (a reprint of Card #7 from the original set). The "Pop Culture Autographs" are not strict reprints; the original cards are done as a card reprint on the top portion of the card with the signature (which is on a sticker) underneath. The end result looks similar to a matted photo that has a signed index card underneath. Each of these two cards exists in three variants: regular (white background on the Ernie card), a Rainbow Foil background (150 per signer), and a Diamond Anniversary sparkle background (75 per signer). Every box also has one Stamped Buyback, a card from one of the original series with a small foil addition noting it as a buyback. Several Ghostbusters II buyback cards are available, though it is unknown is they are random assorted cards or an actual set. The following Ghostbusters II buyback cards have appeared on a popular auction site: #2, #26, #44, and #75.[2]
