Had a ton of fun opening my box of Star Wars! Got the standard two parallels, a bit bland on the color as both are /99. I didn't hit the key base cards either, and had only 5 vertical cards with the other 27 being horizontal. All that to say, I am thrilled with the results no matter what as I'm keeping the base. The shoot out parallel is definitely the best hit of the bunch:

Base cards...look at all those landscape cards!

I sell art prints by a particular artist that were all hand pulled and someone stole 50+ pictures and tried to list them while I had mine listed. The absurd part about it was some of the prints were 1/1 and since they all were hand pulled they all had identifying marks that were particular to that print even if they were part of a larger print run. A nice email to the perpetrator explaining the absurdity of what he was doing and they were gone as quickly as they went up.

This is the best of what I got. Did get 3 parallel. They do look nice in hand.

This has got to stop. People need to stop jacking others without asking for permission first.

Unfortunately the only way to stop is watermarking, which is arguably more of a PITA. Some people are too lazy to try on their own or just don’t have access to a camera with that good of quality.

Dang, I feel like you got lucky they stopped after a message. I know some people can be real pricks about it in my experience.

I didnt realize this about the Chrome Sapphire Star Wars out now;

"While there have been recreations of some cards over the years, this is the first time an entire run from the set has been done. The closest comparison would be 1999 Topps Star Wars Chrome Archives. That set took select cards from all of the original trilogy’s sets, though, and not a full run."

My box came and I ripped
Got #1 Luke
The villainous Vader
As the best 2 I guess
Orange Luke Destroys an Imperial Ship
Aqua /99 Ben hides from Storm troopers or something
Did get Chewbacca and R2-D2/C-3PO but I have no clue what would be considered good base - assume anything with a Luke in it

Default SW Sapphire

Got my 2 boxes. Cards look great, but my collation was very underwhelming.
I did get an extra parallel though. Best base was #5 Princess Leia. The biggest issue is that I got 13 duplicates...which will make it even more difficult to complete the set.

Parallels:
Steel walls close in on our heroes /50
Threepio's desert track /75
Honoring the victory /75
Luke prepares for the battle /99
Stormtroopers guard Solo's ship /99

Just got my Star Wars Sapphire in and as a big Star Wars fan there was no chance it didn’t get opened. Thrilled with the rip and the way the cards look. I think I am likely to do the base set.

My box almost made it a full 24 hours. think I did fairly well on this with Luke and Leia, plus a couple nice C3POs.
