"Jammed packed"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Messy layout covering three series of trading cards and stickers, jammed packed into one volume with no sense of elegance and decorum. Each card on display in this volume required two pages on their own, which was not the case, although some inferior looking cards would look undistinguished with two pages. The backs of many of the cards have hard to read fine print and distinguishing the text is even more difficult with colored backgrounds. Series one and two contain shots of the movie itself and are striking images in their own right, but by these are simplistic stickers and images of inferior quality. However, the fuller photos at the end of the volume provide the best views.

Description

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. Also available from Topps: Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Volume Three; Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Volume Three, The Original Topps Trading Card Series, Volume Two; and Star Wars Galaxy: The Original Topps Trading Card Series.
