Here are my complete run of all the original loose figures minus Yakface who is really hard to find. I also have 8 carded original 12 back figure and a carded today and like skywalker. These are my favorite of my Star Wars collectibles
And I was lucky to have had most of them from as a child. I picked up about 60 percent of the rest before the prices went crazy.
@72skywalker I know this is a stupid question...but are all of your encased toys graded? If so, can you share the grades? Are they difficult to get in high grade (like the 1977 Topps Blue series cards and stickers are)?
I truly do not know, because I never had any of the original toys.

Yes. All of the encased carded figures are graded by AFA. They all are graded 75 which I am guessing is like a PSA 7ish. I bought all of them already graded so I am not sure how hard it is to get graded now. I also know that AFA graded figures graded 80 or 85 are almost twice as expensive. I am guessing that most of the ones you see on ebay are 70-75. They present well with some minor creases and such.
@72skywalker Thanks so much for sharing the details on your collection. It sounds like NM 7 is a great collector level to put such a set together. I love the way they display with all of the loose figures. It makes it come to life!! For the record - I lived a few blocks from the Hasbro factory when I was a kid but we moved long before Star Wars… otherwise I might have hunted enough of their dumpster figures to help you out with your Yakface figure!!! Alas!!! Happy hunting.

This is a fun set from Spain of what I believe are original art stickers. This is a huge set of 50 condition sensitive stickers that were either included with the yogurt or could be redeemed via a mail in set.

This is another set from Japan that was included in small notebooks. There were four different notebooks that contained these cards - I am not sure how rare the intact/unopened notebooks are because I have never seen one. If anyone has a pic please share!

1980 Star Wars Burger King
In 1980, Burger King did a few promotions for the Empire Strikes Back and one of the promotions was a panel of 3 cards. I haven't seen a full panel graded, but I have purchased a bunch of panel sets trying to put together a high grade set of these (which hopefully stays a high grade set once I get my cards back from last month's special ). They made a cagillion of these sets, but many cards in the set still do not have a PSA 10.

Hi General Jim,
I don’t know much about these cards, but there has been a full set for sale on eBay for a couple years now in the $7k range. I assume they are like the Prism basketball card set, but I don’t think any have been graded by PSA. They looks awesome!

@ghooper33 Thanks that’s awesome , I’ve never seen that listing. How many are in the set ? I bought these years ago as a group of 3 , have never seen any since .

I'd love to hear how your graded set turns out!!! (I have my childhood set currently up on the registry!)
They are a tough "separate them yourself" set in high grade!!!

I don’t know if these cards are worth the seller’s asking price, I think they are pretty rare.
I was looking to see if these would be posted. I remember getting those as a kid. I don't think any panels survived in my hands, but I still have some singles kicking around in my non-sports box.
I collect Steve Garvey, Dodgers and signed cards. Collector since 1978.
This is probably the rarest Star Wars card currently in my collection. The 1983 Myojo Noodles Darth Vader. This Japanese set came attached to the top of noodles packages along with other non-Star Wars cards. You can see the writing on the back of my card, but these a super tough to find and I thought this one presented well.

1983 Star Wars Dutch Campina. These stickers were released in ice cream bars in Holland. They are very condition sensitive, and though are listed as released in 1983, show images from Empire. I just received notice that PSA is no longer grading these when I sent in a set that would be an upgrade for me.

I just got back two fantastic additions to my collection. I recently added the mid-90's Star Wars Decipher CCG cards into my sights, and I have a couple of the "Ultra Rare" foil premiums inserted into a set late in the production years. These cards are tough with grading because of the black boarders and rounded corners that seem to like to fray. The foils are especially tough to grade because they are so prone to scratches.
Anyone else collecting the Star Wars Decipher CCG cards?

I have never seen those prism cards or the noodle vader. Congrats on owning those and thank you for sharing them. Super cool!

That signed set is amazing. I wonder if it’s still complete or if it sold in pieces.
I'm not sure if this is the same set but there's one on ebay that has a link to a YT video.

1980 Star Wars York Peanut Butter Discs: this is a small 6 “card” set from Canada that was inserted under the lids of peanut butter.
These are my first graded discs, and I love the look in the PSA holders.
hey ghooper33,
i dig those peanut butter discs...
