Throughout August, 2010 Turner Classic Movies aired their “Summer Under the Stars” festival. Each day, a different star was given the spotlight with a variety of films. As part of the promotion of the event, 2010 TCM Summer Under the Stars trading cards were produced specifically for the event.
With 31 days in August, it shouldn’t be surprising that the 2010 TCM Summer Under the Stars checklist has 31 cards. Clint Eastwood, Katherine Hepburn, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor are among those honored in the set.
The cards feature the stunning artwork of Michael Schwab. The back of each card includes a quote from the movie and character featured, as well as a list of the star’s other films being shown.
A total of 500 sets were produced, all given away through a contest on the TCM website. Half were awarded mid-way through the month while the remaining sets were given away at the festival’s conclusion.
