When Bryan Singer’s X-Men was released, it was impossible not to take note of the deep and talented cast. That sensibility carried over to the hobby with the 2000 Topps X-Men Movie trading cards. The product has lots going for it, most notably the stellar autograph checklist.
2000 Topps X-Men Movie Checklist Details
After starting off with several character cards, the 72-card base set delves into the film’s plot. It’s a standard sort of approach and comes with a basic design.
The autographs include several big names, starting with Hugh Jackman (Wolverine). Patrick Stewart (Professor Xaivier), Ian McKellen (Magneto) and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) are among the other key cards available in packs. Director Bryan Singer fetches a lot of interest due to the fact his card is hard to find.
Not all of the 2000 Topps X-Men Movie autographs are available in packs, though. Anna Paquin and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos were given to dealers as an incentive after the set’s release. Ray Park’s card was used as a case topper for 2001 Topps Marvel Legends.
Autographs are a hobby exclusive, landing one per box.
Movie Memorabilia cards follow the same distribution pattern. These come with swatches of costumes used in the film. With only four in the set, they don’t command huge amounts but all of the characters are key leads.
The only other inserts available in hobby packs are Double-Sided Chromium cards. There are ten in the set with one landing every fifth pack.
Retail packs don’t have autographs or costume cards but they do have a couple of exclusive inserts of their own. Clear Cling cards have the same general design of the Double-Sided Chromium cards but they’re stickers rather than shiny metallic.
Finally, there are ten X-Foil retail inserts that highlight characters once again.
