Sometimes a trading card line can wear out its welcome. However, it’s not necessarily recognized by the card maker as their previous set goes as planned. But then once you solicit the follow up, the orders don’t come in as planned. What’s bad for the manufacturer can actually end up being good for the collector in the end. Such is the case with 2011 Topps Star Wars Galaxy 6, a product that over delivers on a lot of the premium elements it promises.
The sixth set in the line and third since it was rebooted, the base set is beautiful. But it’s Star Wars Galaxy so that’s a given. All 120 cards take an artistic approach, drawing from all six of the original films and prequel trilogy. Both the characters and styles are varied.
Every card in the base set has four different one-of-one Printing Plates based on the colors of the printing process: magenta, yellow, black and cyan.
Like the previous two Star Wars Galaxy releases, Sketch Cards are the primary chase element. Hobby boxes promise one of the original art cards. However, this is where the low orders come into play. While not a guarantee, a lot of collectors found themselves pulling two Sketch Cards. So what ended up being soft up front quickly ascended in price and unopened boxes, if you can still find them, haven’t let up.
In addition to basic Sketch Cards, there are Shaped Sketch Cards done in more of a avant garde style. Sketchagraphs are sketch cards that have been signed by the actor portrayed on the card. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are among the signers.
Etched Foil and Foil cards return to lead the basic insert chase. Retail packs also have Clear Cel cards.
