I agree ROTJ sapphire was ugly on many cards. Some looked good but most did not (the stickers looked good). They should just keep the sapphire effect for the border like they did year 1 for ANH. Those were gorgeous.

I’m upset they didn’t do all five series of Star Wars (1977). The Jedi set got both series, which is slightly more than four series of the Star Wars set.

Are odds actually anywhere? If one auto per box or anything like that?

Looks nice. Very pricey considering you can get 2023 cases for a fraction.

I love SW cards. Picked up a case and will absolutely rip. These will be 2k a case or less soon, just locking myself in.

We got a checklist or odds anywhere ? $285 seems a bit much but if it’s not hugely printed then I’ll cop it

Not yet but I assume print run will be similar to other Sapphire products. 10.5kish

That's absurd. Last year's is selling for around $130 and even lower. Unless this is one auto per box, I have no clue what is going on with this pricing.

I wouldn't use last year as a good price guide. It sure seems that they increased production run (certainly because of an increased set size) and the cards just weren't that popular.

Yes, seems crazy high unless AU are falling often which i am highly doubtful of

You are very keen on modern sku pricing but i fail to see the value here, what am I missing?

So you plan to buy even though you know these will tank? I HATED this movie but the cast is mostly stellar in terms of star power so there is some potential. I'd be willing to take a loss if this was OT or even Revenge of the Sith....

That seems like an oxymoron.

It's so dum that they put this out there without the actual odds and checklist.. just left to people gambling that somehow its actually worth $300+ (w/ tax) for a box of cards they've never even een photos of.. and the only way it's even possibly worth it is if there's an auto in each box.. and the auto checklist is small... sigh.... if you look at the other non-baseball sapphire products they've put out lately.. bowman university chrome sapphire basketall and topps chrome f1 sapphire.. neither were worth the price charged by Topps and can likely be gotten today for the same (or much lower price)...

This seems kinda criminal.

On the positive, there are 4 #d per box, which likely indicates a smaller PR, on par with recent Sapphire releases.

On the flip side, its $285 and you have no idea how often autos fall and who is on the checklist.

It very well could be a great release depending on autos, but at face value I'm not sure how you can pre-order a case of this with the lack of information.
