A recently completed Goldin Auctions offering of a 1977 Topps Star Wars Series 1 box sold $19,680, demonstrating that unopened Topps material from the original installment in the Star Wars trilogy has a vibrant market not only for non-sport collectors but for Star Wars collectors as well. This example was certified by Steve Hart of Baseball Card Exchange, a leading authority on unopened material.
Interest has increased in vintage Topps Star Wars cards as new movies and properties, such as The Mandalorian screening on Disney+ and corresponding new releases by Topps, are drawing in new fans and collectors.
