- Join me for part 5 of 8 parts, as I continue to open a sealed Wax Box of 1977 Star Wars Trading Cards. Re-dic-ulous! (*ridiculous) too much fun.

How cool 😎 is this video for historical evidence of opening a box of 1977 SW series 1. So exciting.
Thanks John!! Was a top notch 4 packs, that’s for sure! The stuff of dreams… condition of the cards aside.
Oh man… great video. That unmistakable sound of the cat was trying to steal the show!
Love the videos man!!! Oak Man I mean!!! Love these cards thank you so very much for sharing!!!
Haha! Absolutely! I’m glad people are getting a little bit of enjoyment from them it seems. Thanks for the support!
These are my favorite videos right now.
Thank you so much! I can selfishly agree 😬😏
Congrats on those Lukes man, loving watching these videos.. Seriously epic viewing. cheers!
Thank you so much for the well wishes and for watching!! I watch back to review the videos sometimes, and I’m like… “is this guy even having fun?!”… well, I can promise you I am. I think I’m just so focused when I’m doing them. Anyway… thanks again!
Well, aren't you a dirty devil! You got more Lukes than cat messes in that video, if my count is correct! Pretty great box! That Grand Moff from the first pack looked like it had a lot of white specs/snowing in the dark part of the image, but hard to tell. Some great cards overall...might have seen a couple PSA conTENders in there!
You got the count right! Hahaha! I’ll take 2 Luke’s over 1 Han Solo throw up all day long (yes, our cats name is truly Han Solo). Mayne he was feeling jealous 🤷🏻♂️😂. I’d love some 9’s out of this box…. that’s all. Hopefully that’s not too high of expectations. Thanks Ryan!
I have the grading tool ... it works really good. The trick is getting the card in line perfectly!!!
I told you it was going to be a 5 Luke box! Congratulations! Let's go for #6!
Yes you did!! Why stop here right?! Thanks for the support Jack
Morning coffee and more Luke reveals! What a great way to start the day. Man, that box just keeps giving and giving. Way to go!
Right?! Thanks Keith 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Nice toss of the gum .... The hook shot over the head... 2 points🤣🤣
I played basketball in middle school, so…. 💁🏼♂️😤
The standout from this pack rip is card #44 “Han and Chewie shoot it out!” At 13:03. Centering and surface looks good, image is just a tad rotated (thinner blue border at top on right side than left) but it has so much eye appeal and overall solid centering that it could get a PSA 9, possibly a 10 if that bump at word “Han” you’re seeing isn’t a significant surface issue. Couldn’t see it well in the video. And that’s a…
Nice Luke rookie rendition you pulled at 5:47. As you mentioned it’s not centered from top to bottom as image is high up. And there is a yellow ink print line bleeding through along top interior black border line. But the surface is very clean and corners/edges are clean. That could get a PSA 7.
The second Luke rookie you unveiled at 18:41 - the image is over-rotated (diagonal-ed) and mis-cut, which is why the left side border is much thicker than the right side…especially near the bottom area on the right side border. The border area just gets more narrow coming down on the right side. However, the surface is super clean and looks to have sharp corners/edges. That could get a PSA 8, at least a PSA 7. I agree with you, I think this one is the best of the 5 Luke rookies you have at this point. A lot of overall eye appeal.
The #15 (Artoo-Detoo is left behind!) you pulled at 4:19 is a nice card but it has a yellow ink print line running along the right interior black border and it’s a bit off-center to the right. Still a very nice overall card.
The Tarkin #60 at 5:17 has a yellow ink print line running along the top interior black border. And has some surface white speckle. But other than that, it’s a very well-centered card.
The #35 “Luke and Han as stormtroopers” at 9:41 is a good one, just has a yellow ink print line along right interior black border line. But it could get a PSA 9.
This box keeps giving you great cards. You’re so lucky to have already pulled 5 Luke’s! Wonder how many more you’ll get in the final 12 packs.
Love the breakdown per usual… so appreciative of your thoughts. The bill for this submission is going to be nasty. But I feel I just have to do this box justice and send the best that I get in… I’m sure I’ll snag a few 7’s… but I think I’m going to go for a slabbed set. Then I can slowly upgrade throughout the coming years. A fun project to say the least. I’m going to revisit these cards plenty I’m sure. Thank you so much! I hope you’re right! Even on the Luke’s… I know these aren’t Gems…. but the box as a whole, is really nice I think.
Great Lukes = 5 total so far!
Could not be more pleased!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Great pulls!! I have a theory on that Luke sticker for sale. The same seller has ten cards for sale with about half being stickers that are pop one gem mints. They had to have replaced the backer of the stickers somehow. No gum marks and no color fading on the backs. Still got through PSA though. One more Luke for sure in your box. Keep it going!
That’s a great observation on the stickers. How are some stickers without gum residue and some are completely covered? Were the gum sticks always against the sticker backs in all packs? Were the higher graded stickers pulled early on vice decades later?
@@keithsetliff4349 the reason why there are many stickers with clean backs that get graded is because this stickers came from packs that were opened by collectors in 1977 and 1978 where the gum wouldn’t leave any residue or mark or stain on the backs. The gum was so fresh that it wasn’t stuck to the sticker. I know this as I opened many packs back in 1977 and I still have the stickers and all have clean white backs.
True they may have been pulled in '77 but almost impossible to store without some browning on at least the edges after 45 years.
@@iamtheprotagonist I opened all my cards back in ‘77 and ‘78. My stickers are clean. Sent a few into PSA, hoping to get a decent grade! Fingers crossed!
I wouldn’t doubt it… if you think so. Let’s see if you’re right about the 6th Luke 😏
Yet another 2 Lukes with quite a few packs to go…..oh man!
You know it PJ! It has been worth the wait so far… it’s been a long journey… at least it feels like it for me. Thanks for the continued support.
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 I would love to see you land a psa 10 Luke…that would more than pay for that box a few times over should you elect to sell it….but this is a blast to watch at the very least….we are all living vicariously through you at the moment….
We've got FIVE Lukes! Congrats, E-Dub, enjoying these vids. Good luck with the rest of the box, but did the cat get into one of the gum pieces you tossed?
Buck Rogers…
Hahahha!! That’s it! Ugh…. I knew that 🤦🏼♂️. Thanks!!
Booom!
Eat the gum!!!!!!
"The Cat Incident" - Episode 5 .... 🤣🤣🤮🤮🤮
Haha!! …and to make it a little more appropriate/strange maybe… is that my 🤮 cats name is Han Solo. My other cats name is Luke Skywalker, but he was fine 😬
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 Great names ... Is the Dog Vader???? LOL!! Peace brother!
It's weird that the cards are all one-star but the stickers (at least some of them) are two-star
So strange…. Great investigative work 🧐👍🏻
