Topps Trading Cards: Series 4




Here's the fourth series with the green borders. 1 more to go!





The puzzle of Han and Chewie is surprisingly tall and pretty hard to put together.  







We have 'movie facts' now instead of official descriptions and I like the one showing Lucas's influences like Flash Gordon and John Carter of Mars. I have to feel like they were groping a bit for new images to use on the card fronts. 'Luke's secret yen for action' made me laugh. Also cool; 'The Empire Strikes Back' way before there was a movie by that name.

  2. While the yellow (third) series was the first one I recall getting when it was new and on the shelves ($0.25 a pack iirc), the green series had two really cool cards of Stormtroopers that I liked a lot. I remember having them when I visited my grandparents' house. Unfortunately, I left them there and while I won't level the charge that my grandmother threw the cards away, they did mysteriously vanish the next time I was over to visit..
