Card of the Day: 1983 Topps Star Wars Return of the Jedi – Darth Vader #3

Pin Highlight: Lord Darth Vader Star Wars Celebration 2017 40 Years Mystery Pin

The Last Jedi is here!!!  So many questions will be answered while new ones will take their place.  Its gonna be good.

Star Wars Celebration 2017 took place in Orlando, Florida.  Disney made a whole bunch of pins to commemorate this event.  One set contains twelve pins.  Two pins come packaged in a blind box.  You have no clue as to which pins you’ll be getting.

The checklist of pins includes:

• Artoo-Deetoo
• Han Solo
• Grand Moff Tarkin
• Lord Darth Vader
• Luke Skywalker
• Chewbacca
• Stormtrooper – chaser
• Princess Leia Organa – chaser
• Aunt Beru – chaser
• Uncle Owen – chaser
• Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi – chaser
• See-Threepio – chaser

The chaser pins are difficult to pull and are limited to 1,500 copies.

If the pictures on these pins look familiar, you’d be correct.  Most come from 1977 Topps Star Wars Series 1 Stickers.  Chewie’s pin uses the image from his Series 2 sticker from that same year.  I don’t believe Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru, and the Stormtrooper have stickers that use those exact pictures.  Those look to have been made just for this pin set.
