We talk with Kevin Munnings of Tusken Trader Company or @tuskentraderco on Instagram about the Mexican versions of the Topps Star Wars cards that were released in the late 70’s. Due to many reasons, including the number of cards per pack, the gum included and the general availability, they were not easy to come by and very rare to find these days without paying a pretty penny.
Kevin has put a ton of effort into reproducing the cards digitally so you can see what the cards and boxes looked like and if you want you can buy and print sheets for yourself. He does mini sized versions and even some cool LEGO diorama cards that would make a great addition to anyone’s collection.
