2019 Topps Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Black and White Checklist, Details
Jump to the 2019 Topps Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Black and White checklist.
2019 Topps Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Black and White is the trading card sequel to the similar set the original film received. The general premise remains the same–use black and white imagery to offer up a dramatic new look at a movie we’ve probably seen a dozen times (or more). In fact, the construction and configuration of the two products is nearly identical.
Boxes are the the small side with just seven packs. Each box of the hobby-exclusive product promises either and autograph or a sketch card.
2019 Topps Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Black and White Base Set Basics
Although the boxes may be small, the 2019 Topps Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Black and White base set isn’t. Like the first Black and White set, the checklist consists of 150 cards. Many of these use seldom seen black and white images that aren’t merely transfers from the film itself.
Parallels add a splash of color–as in one color each. Sepia are the most common, falling one per pack. Hue Shift parallel colors include Blue (1:4 packs), Green (/99), Purple (/25), Red (/10) and Orange (/5), which are new to this set. Metal parallels, which are done on metal stock, are one-of-ones.
Autographs and Other Inserts
Autographs in Empire Strikes Back Black and White take a similar approach as the main set. So for basic versions, that means no color in the photos.
Hue Shift parallels are available in limited numbers: Blue (/99), Green (/25), Purple (/10), Orange (/5), and Red (1/1).
Dual Autographs and a one-of-a-kind Six-Person Autograph are also randomly inserted.
Sketch cards all come with original drawings and artwork.
2019 Topps Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Black and White has some more basic inserts as well. These delve into the production and marketing of the movie.
Concept Art goes to some of the film’s earliest planning stages.
Behind the Scenes look to the other side of the camera, capturing both the cast and crew.
The checklist rounds out with Iconic Characters and Posters.
