1st edition vintage collectables
A UNIQUE GIFT FOR THE SERIOUS STAR WARS COLLECTOR!
The original 1977 Topps Star Wars Movie Photo Cards are a pictorial history of the most iconic film of all time, featuring hundreds of frame by frame images taken from the movie. Nearly a half century ago a young Star Wars collector painstakingly collected and organized the cards and stickers in a shoebox. This original collection has been recently rediscovered and given a major upgrade any hardcore collector will appreciate.
This deluxe collection starts with the FIRST THREE COMPLETE SERIES of 1977 movie photo cards and sticker sets. Each series contains 66 cards and 11 stickers, for a total of 198 cards and 33 stickers. The sets are in mint condition with sharp crisp corners and bright clear printing. They’ve been stored in the dark at room temperature. They’ve barely been handled and feel like new.
The sets have been transferred to archival quality deluxe card pocket display pages, which lets you enjoy these collectables while protecting from fingerprints, dirt and spills. The entire 31 page set is clad in a one of a kind deluxe ALUMINUM Collector Vault, machined in the USA from .032 gauge recycled aluminum. It’s strong, sleek and protects the valuable contents. The front is emblazoned with a 21st century Star Wars logo plate, 3D printed in the USA. The Vault measures 10.75″ x 11.75″ x 1″ thick. Each series divider has an original partial wax wrapper from each of the 3 original sets from 1977, along with an 8/.5 x 11 mini poster reprint of the retail box artwork.
As a bonus you’ll also receive an original Star Wars retail display box, the same box the cards were shipped in. It literally has “shelf wear” from being used as a display in a drug store in 1977. It’s been previously repaired with tape. See photos. The original collector will provide a certificate of authenticity, too. Photos are of actual items. Climate controlled storage and minimally handled. Sold as is. Sold as a set only. Only one set available.
1977 STAR WARS Marvel Comics #1-10
Year: 1977 and 1978
Manufacturer: Marvel
Condition: Very good to near mint condition
1st edition vintage collectables
AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL SERIES PUBLISHED IN 1977 AND 1978
First edition vintage collectables – Not reproductions
In 1977, the very first Star Wars comics were released. The ones you see here were purchased from the local drug store in my tiny southeastern Minnesota hometown. We knew which day comics were delivered, so we were able to get the very first issues. I collected the first 10 issues. I read them once, and they went into collector sleeves, into my closet and into the past. I opened them up recently and scanned the covers. You can see they’re in near mint condition. No tears, scratches or other damage. The corners are all clean and unworn and have been stored in plastic pouches. Fantastic shape for comics printed 40 years ago.
#1-6 illustrate the Star Wars original story faithfully from beginning to end. These are the original issues as they were printed in 1977 by Marvel- not reprints. I only have one of each and they’re gone.
BONUS: Buy issues 1-6, and receive issues #7-10 FREE! Issues #7-10 do not follow the storyline of the sequals / prequels, but are an interesting spin-off of the STAR WARS franchise.
