3 Hobby Box Break of Star Wars Galactic Files 2018

[FrozenWookiee]

Just getting back into the trading card hobby after a brief 25 year hiatus.
Got a hobby box of Star Wars Galactic Files 2018 for Christmas.
Loved it so much I had to get 2 more from Blowout.
Then I found this forum and thought I'd share what I got.

I absolutely love this product.
One thing I found interesting is that over 3 boxes, I never got a duplicate parallel.
I of course got duplicate base, and few duplicate inserts... but no duplicate oranges or blues.
That's some great collation!
I am 6 cards short of the complete base set (of 200), and am missing ~20 inserts (they are kinda rare).
I didn't hit anything especially special, but here's what I got over 3 hobby boxes:

• 572 Cards
• 344 Base (194/200) - (76 duplicates and 37 triplicates)
• 95 Orange Parallels (95/200) - (no duplicates) - (averages ~4:3 packs)
• 36 Blue Parallels (36/200) - (no duplicates) - (odds = 1:2, me = 1:2)
• 3 Band of Heroes Inserts (3/7) - (no duplicates) - (odds = 1:20, me = 1:24)
• 8 Galactic Moments Inserts (6/10) - (2 duplicates) - (odds= 1:10, me = 1:9)
• 8 Locations Inserts (8/10) - (no duplicates) - (odds = 1:8, me = 1:9)
• 18 Memorable Quotes Inserts (10/10) - (4 duplicates and 2 triplicates) - (odds = 1:4, me = 1:4)
• 6 Sinister Syndicates Inserts (5/15) - (1 duplicate) - (odds = 1:10, me = 1:12)
• 18 Vehicle Inserts (10/10) - (6 duplicates and 1 triplicate) - (odds = 1:4, me = 1:4)
• 8 Weapon Inserts (5/10) - (3 duplicates) - (odds = 1:8 packs, me = 1:9)

I did slightly worse or exactly the odds on most of the inserts (except the Galactic Moments where I did only slightly better).
Kinda disappointing, but I guess it's mostly a rounding error... though I wish a few more had rounded in my favour.
Anyway, without further ado, here are my numbered cards and hits:


Green cards (#'d out of 199). You should get 1:9 packs, but I got 1:8. Nine in total, three in each box:

• Commander Fox (071/199)
• Bistan (041/199)
• Rose Tico (027/199)
• Sarco Plank (047/199)
• Hassk Triplets (049/199)
• Guavian Death Gang Enforcer (021/199)
• C-3PO (172/199)
• Muftak (097/199)
• General Tagge (139/199)

Purple (#'d out of 99). You should get 1:18 packs, and that's what I got. Four in total, two boxes had one, and one box had two:

• Tivik (19/99)
• Obi-Wan Kenobi (62/99)
• Corporal Tonc (03/99)
• Poe Dameron (17/99)

Short Prints. I think I got lucky here. I got one in each box. You should only get 1:55 packs and I got 1:24. So I'm really happy about that:

• Han Solo
• Imperial Stormtrooper
• Anakin Skywalker

Autographs. I'm not really a huge Clone Wars fan so was kinda disappointed to get 2 autos from that.
And the Tivik one from Rogue One isn't really a major character... but oh well:

• Daniel Mays as Tivik (016/415)
• Meredith Salenger as Barriss Offee - Green Parallel (06/50)
• Cas Anvar as Peteen (163/397)

Poster Patch and Printing Plates.
I was super happy to get a black printing plate.
I think they look the best of all the plates.
Not a major character but still really cool.
But what's really throwing me off is the upside down poster card.
I haven't seen any of those anywhere.
Has anyone else seen an error like that?
Also, I'm wondering if errors like that have more value.
I guess it probably depends on the collector, but if this is the only error, would that make it more desirable?
Anyway, here are the cards:

• Obi-Wan Kenobi Revenge of the Sith Poster Patch - Blue Parallel (11/99)
• Jashco Phurus Black Printing Plate (1/1)
• Darth Vader Revenge of the Sith Poster Patch - Upside down error

Thanks for looking!
