Includes 4 Trading Cards - Volume 1 - 1st printing. By Gary Gerani and Robert Conte. The Topps Star Wars trading cards were originally released in 1977 after the first Star Wars movie hit theaters that May.

Now, for the first time, all five classic trading card series are being reprinted in book form-in a deluxe volume of 516 pages. Each series consisted of 66 cards and 11 stickers. The backs of each card contain additional content including movie facts, story summaries, actor profiles, and puzzle cards.
