2013 Golden Age trading cards were released on June 26, 2013, by Panini America, Inc. The 150-card base set features mini parallels and short print variant cards. Each hobby box contain 24 packs with 6 cards per pack. Each box includes a signature card, a memorabilia relic card, an "Exhibit" box topper, plus 24 mini parallels.



"Exhibit" box topper inserts include a photograph of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle. Each "Exhibit" insert measures 3.5 x 5.5 inches. The inserts pay tribute to early 20th century trading cards produced by The Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) . The original black-and-white Exhibit cards were dispensed from vending machines from 1907 until the 1970s.

The base series features an illustration of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle. Each base card is available in white border variations and a Black Aqueous numbered #1/1. One mini base parallel is included in each pack. The mini parallels are available with multiple back variants: American Caramels Blue Ink, American Caramels Red Ink, Carolina Brights Green Ink, Carolina Brights Purple Ink, Nadja Caramels Backs, Black Aqueous 1/1.

Propelled into space by a Saturn V rocket on July 16, 1969, Apollo 11's Eagle landing module touched down on the Moon's Sea of Tranquility on July 20. Six hours later, on July 21, NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped foot onto the powdery lunar surface, the first human to take that historic stride, prompting the timeless quote, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
