Well, we have already been lucky enough to sample some of the great sketches going into this set, but the biggest piece of news was dropped today on the Topps Forum...check out the autograph list below AUTOGRAPHED CARDS 1 HARRISON "Traveling through hyperspace isn't like dusting crops, boy!" FORD!!!  2 TBD (I personally think Mark Hamill will be signing) 3 Carrie Fisher 4 Anthony Daniels 5 Richard LaParmentier 6 Garick Hagon 7 Maria De Aragon 8 Paul Blake 9 Peter Mayhew 10 Kenny Baker 11 David Prowse 12 Christine Hewett - a Tonnika sister the autograph list is just amazing for this set. I think this set is going to be HUGE. The sketch cards are incredible looking and the signers are beyond what I expected. My order just increased ten fold. |

nope, he is confirmed as an actual on card signer. I would imagine he will sign 50-100 cards. It will be very very limited (even more than ROTS Sam Jackson limited) but it will be out there...Sam Jackson sells for $1000 pretty consistantly...I wonder how much this card will go for.

This is going to be my first SW set I'll be getting (well, besides the 1977 set ) and at first, I was upset. I wanted sketches more than autos!! But now, I'm a little psyched!!!  |

I know when I pull one you will all hear me sing.............. I never thought my life could be
Anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see
A bit of good luck for me
'Cause I've got a Han autograph
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye
I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine
What an amazing thing
'Cause I've got a Han autograph Thats right I said "when" not "if"  |

Wow! I might get a couple of boxes even though I am not a huge fan. That list looks too good to miss  |

This set is really going to be huge! I can't wait to rip into my packs...I've only ordered 2 cases, and I get a free box from Topps for doing sketch cards...I just hope Sid can blow some imaginary kisses my way just before I open them all... ...being a die hard LOTR OCD collector, I really didn't want to shift my mental loyalty to Star Wars...but...with the Tolkien/Campbell-Jackson/Lucas-mythology/creativity connection...these epic stories are really one and the same...and so they both hold a place in my collecting heart...especially since these are the only sets I've done sketch cards for...and really can't see myself adding to that mix at all...(okay, maybe if there's a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" set, or something related to Hitchcock...  ) ...I was lucky enough to buy a Revenge of the Sith and a Heritage box relatively recently...pulled a Walks Windu (which I traded regretfully) and a James Earl Jones auto...which I'll use to start my new OCD Star Wars collection...it will look great next to my Harrison Ford auto...  ! Best of luck everyone!  |

Well, Topps has the set on their website now. harrison ford odds 1:49,602 !!!!!!!!!! mark hamill is not signing, but there is a long list of signers. overall odds are 1:43 for autos and 1:50 for sketches. More high odds though are 1:6,000 and 1:4,500 for fisher, mayhew, daniels and prowse. Better order a few more cases. those autos are gonna get a high price on |

Plus the release date is now July 30th! The sketch odds upset me!! I was hoping to get one in each box! GRRR!  I think someone over on Scoundrel did the calculations on the number of cards Ford signed..... a whopping 10!!!  |

As an auto collector I do not mind the basicly 5:3 odds on autos to sketches, however, it would have been nice for everyone if it was at least even at 4:4. I think even the large amount artists like Christian Dalla Vecchia will be selling for a little more than normal due simply to the rarity of sketches in this product. I think we are looking at around 2500 cases, give or take.
