It’s fair to say that Topps trading cards laid the groundwork for the collecting frenzy that was the CCG card craze. From 1995 to 2001, Decipher released numerous officially licensed Star Wars sets that at times rivaled the popularity of Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering. The popularity of the game wasn’t limited to the United States either. Japan also had CCG fever, and the above Darth Vader foil chase card from Decipher’s Reflections II range is the perfect example of a foreign card with exceptional collectability. Topps Now Star Wars Mandalorian allows collectors to follow the Disney+ series on cardboard. A new set is released each week with images from The Mandalorian, which debuted on November 12, 2019. Star Wars Authentics is thrilled to present the first officially licensed autographed product from The Mandalorian! Autographed photos from Werner Herzog (who plays The Client) will be on sale starting Wednesday November 13 th. Herzog is the first autograph signer from The Mandalorian to be included in Star Wars Authentics! Unlike standard Topps Now cards available for just 24 hours, the selling period lasts for one week. Calling all bounty hunters! With the launch of The Mandalorian on the new Disney+ streaming service, Topps is here to bring you trading cards and official photos! Join us in celebrating The Mandalorian and be on the lookout for the following:

TA-PWE Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian / Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon / Carl Weathers as Greef Karga It’s an event enjoyed by both die hard fans and families alike and has raised thousands of pounds for charity. Coming from the 2015 Star Wars Masterworks line – which included special autograph cards from the stars of the various films as well as television shows like Rebels one per box – this hand-signed item is especially collectible due to Carrie Fisher’s untimely passing in 2016. Throughout her career, Fisher was known for her good humor towards the Star Wars franchise, and was a fan favorite at conventions which, towards the end of her life she regularly attended with her lovable French bulldog, Gary Fisher. Although Fisher is gone, the legacy she leaves behind continues to burn brighter than a supernova – and this card gives collectors a personal connection with their favorite princess.If you’ll pardon the pun, Star Wars changed the galaxy when the movie hit theaters in May of 1977. Its combination of sci-fi action that drew inspiration from the movie serials of George Lucas’ youth with gripping characters and next-level special effects forever altered both pop culture and the motion picture industry. And we are all the better for it. Tait Fletcher as Alpha Trawler / Ryan Watson as Beta Trawler / Dmitrious Bistrevsky as Quarren Trawler /5 To paraphrase Scandal, shooting at the walls of heartache, bang bang, they are the Star Warriors! Given colorful as these cards are and crammed with perfect picture selection, it’s easy to overlook how entertaining the copy on the cards are. We also love the idea of the Rebels referring to themselves as “Star Warriors” so much that this is head canon now. With Star Wars being massively successful across the globe, it’s understandable that licensers in other countries would want a piece of the merchandising pie as well. One of the most-demanded foreign card sets were from Argentina-based Stani, who released their own variation of Topps’ line in 1977. Finding these cards in good condition is more difficult than trying to figure out what all that jazz about midichlorians in The Phantom Menace was all about. Which is to say that you should expect to pay a premium for these cards (which are often sold in lots as seen above) if you want to add them to your own personal collection.
