Here's another type of insert that can be found in the recent high-end Star Wars Masterwork release from Topps. These are relic cards containing pieces of the shield generator bunker on Endor in Return of the Jedi. I believe there are Frame relics and Panel relics. The cards feature various characters from the film alongside the relic piece. I picked up the Princess Leia Organa variation, serially-numbered # 022 / 155.
Relic cards featuring pieces of props from the movies aren't a new thing, as previous releases have included cards with fur from Wookiee and Ewok costumes as well as bits of Jabba the Hutt's sail barge. Bunker pieces are a new thing, though, and I think it's a pretty cool idea. I'm glad I was able to pick up one of these for my Masterwork collection.
Very cool. I enjoy prop cards... especially when they are from SW.
ReplyDeleteNice card...I pulled a piece of the Sail Barge sail from a single pack purchase when that set came out in 2013. It was a lot more brown than I thought.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting one of the Leia Sail Barge relics since Jedi Legacy came out, but I am reluctant to spend the $100+ that most sellers are asking for one.
