Day 6 of the
Cardpocalypse Challenge: Favorite non-sport card in your collection. The first card set I ever collected was the Topps Return of the Jedi set. I was six years old in 1983 and I did complete the entire 220 card set. I didn't take great care of them over the years and they are unsorted in a box. I know I am probably missing some, so I have no intention of sorting them to see what has gone missing.
For this post I looked through the cards to see what not only stood out to me now, but also would have done so when I was a kid. I came up with this awesome action shot from the Endor battle. A lot of times you see the same few photos from the original trilogy - I don't think you see this one very often. Looks like the stormtrooper is about to be hit by his own side's laser.
I've got Disney+ for my grandkids. Endor is back in the final movie.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, well loved card right there!
ReplyDeleteI was already collecting baseball cards in 1983, so I don't remember buying any ROTJ cards. Since then, I have picked up a few here and there. One of these days I need to go out and buy this set.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a back pocket card right there :)
