The SCN "REAL" MARKET REPORT:
Another good release for Topps Star Wars collectors. Still not on par with the original Star Wars 30th but better than other past
releases. Topps is sold out direct and all the Sketch cards, 1 of 1's and Parallels and refractors are added value in the break.
The AUTO list is excellent also. The NEW Big chase will be the Shaped or Die cut sketch cards. Great new twist.
