2012 Topps Star Wars Galactic Files Variations Guide

The 2012 Topps Star Wars Galactic Files chase just got a little more interesting. For the first time ever, a Star Wars trading card base set has intentional variations. Three cards have two different versions. Each has a separate picture and caption.

Although Topps has not confirmed insertion rates, the variations are noticeably rarer than the regular versions.
