    Wow, so cool. I love the cards showing the behind the scenes shots of the spaceship models.

      Me too. The primitive techniques they used are so interesting. Have a great weekend!

    Congrats on that set, probably a flood of memories within those pages. Appreciate you taking us on a portion of that journey TCC 💯❤️

    Thanks for sharing your collection with us! I enjoyed looking at the cards. Your video makes me want to collect them too.

    Super Video Eric. Congrats on finishing the Star Wars set. I remember those cards as well. It took forever to finish the set. They look fantastic in the binder. Good luck with the Wonder Bread set. I am also working on that set and it is expensive for those cards for sure. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I enjoyed it a lot.

    Very cool, I was born in 77 so I didn't buy these, but I do know about them.
    Congratulations on completing the set.
    Really cool to see them all. 😎 👍

    Very cool. I did the opposite of you and bought only a few packs of the regular Topps but got the complete Wonder Bread set. I would go to the store with my Mom and move the bread bag around until I could see a card that I needed and my Mom would buy that bag. LOL

      Good memories. I did the same thing. There was a bread store in town.

    i just finished my wonder bread cards today. all needed was just the tusken raider card to finish it off. i just found my set after looking for it for almost a year. i was happy as i didn`t want to start this set all over again.

    Nice video, Eric. You’re not kidding about packs for everything back then. It was a great way to market to kids. I remember buying Jaws II and Moonraker cards. Cool you saved the cards from your childhood and added them into the set. You’re right that Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) is still alive. Have a great weekend.

      I remember jaws cards, but not moonraker. Thankfully I usually picked some sort of sportscard pack.

      @@the_card_closet I agree about usually buying sports cards. It seemed like in the late 70s a lot of movies tried copying Star Wars. I remember the Black Hole too. I don’t know if they made cards but I had the action figures.

    Good stuff! Like you when I build a set I use all my original cards from my childhood regardless of there condition. Then I fill in the missing cards with purchases from eBay.

      Thanks for watching canton!! I bet we're not the only 2 either.

    I right behind you on the complete Star Wars set. I’m at ~90% complete. I really like how you kept the set in your childhood condition. I do the same. It’s odd to see perfectly centered cards. All my cards back in the day were off center and dinged corners. Great video.

    • @the_card_closet
      @the_card_closet  Před 2 lety

      Good luck finishing it! I've got doubles in fair to poor condition if you want them.

    Your 77 Star Wars sets reminds me of my 1988 Topps baseball set. I treated those cards like crap, but those cards are staying in the set and i dont replace them

      Thanks for watching tb! Others have said similar, so I guess we weren't that weird.

    • @the_card_closet
      @the_card_closet  Před 2 lety

      I remember superman cards, but never got any. You should show it some time.

  • @PickerJimS
    @PickerJimS Před 2 lety +1

    Awesome Star Wars cards! I too have a bunch of those cards from when I was a kid and they are pretty beat up! Congrats on completing the set!

    • @the_card_closet
      @the_card_closet  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks Jim! Did you buy empire strikes back cards? I didn't for some reason.

    • @PickerJimS
      @PickerJimS Před 2 lety +1

      I do have a few but not too many

  • @marksantucci4230

    that's good to stick with the cards that you got as a kid? 1977 very cool , nice cards.

  • @The_Card_Squad
    @The_Card_Squad Před 2 lety +1

    Really fun video. That's awesome that you have a bunch of the original cards you collected as a kid. The 77 has that famous C3PO error, correct?

    • @the_card_closet
      @the_card_closet  Před 2 lety

      It does. But I don't have it. Never knew about it at the time.

    Do you have The Golden Rod C3P0 card!!!!??? I the card in there but was not sure if that was an updated card or not. I watch comic book men and that card is one of the pricier cards out there. Always love star wars stuff and thanks for sharing with us Eric!!
