Product Details
The first Star Wars trading cards are considered classic among modern card collectors. The first of five series released between 1977 and 1978, the set has 66 cards.
Their distinct star-dotted blue borders are instantly recognizable. Of course, this simple release laid the groundwork for the massive Topps Star Wars cardboard empire.
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 1 Trading Cards Set Details
The 1977 Topps Star Wars Series 1 checklist kicks off with a handful of profile cards and is followed by a traditional film summary. Captions on the front summarize the action.
Card backs are a mix of movie facts and a puzzle that recreates the classic poster art done by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt.
Each pack also had one of 11 stickers. They are done in the distinct thick-bordered design Topps used for many years. Other than the key characters in the base set, the stickers are some of the most popular cards. These are condition-sensitive due to the black borders.
The 1977 Topps Star Wars Series 1 boxes have 36 packs. Each pack has seven cards plus one sticker.
