2 posts | 2 read
In 1980, following the success of Star Wars (1977) and five tie-in trading card series based on the blockbuster film, Topps released three new series of collectible bubble gum cards to coincide with the release of The Empire Strikes Back. Now, for the first time, all 352 cards and 88 stickers are reprinted in a single deluxe volume. Reproducing the fronts and backs of each card, this collection includes character pro­files, story cards, movie facts, quotes, trivia, and puzzles featuring beloved characters and scenes from The Empire Strikes Back. Also included are four bonus trading cards, the Photo Card series, rare promotional images, and an introduction and commentary by Gary Gerani, the original editor of Topps's Star Wars series. Images courtesy of the Robert V. Conte Collection.

My wife got me three of four books (1,2,3) and I wanted to do a mini review. This is a book about cards. I collected them as a kid and lost them somewhere in my life. Each page has each card-front and back with facts about the card. Not too in depth, but a nice book. The jacket is made of the wrapping material the cards came in. Take off the jacket and there is a picture of the bubble gum. Fun trip down memory lane.

This series is the perfect mix of nostalgia and behind the scenes insights. Plus they are way more affordable than collecting the cards!
