2019 Topps Star Wars Black & White The Empire Strikes Back Hobby Box Break

As a follow up to the A New Hope release from 2018, Topps releases a new set featuring The Empire Strikes Back. When it first showed up last year, I wasn’t sure what to really think of it, but over time the release grew on me. The black & white photos bring a less familiar feel to the thirty-six year old images.

It follows the same format as last year, with a 150 card base set, parallels, and a few insert sets. There is nothing really surprising, but this is more about the images than anything else. This is going to be a tough set to put together from packs, however. A box contains 7 packs with 8 cards in each. Each box also advertises one autograph or sketch card.

This box contained:

41 Base (27.3% of 150 card set)
3 Base Sepia Parallels
2 Base Blue Hue Shift Parallels
2 Base Green Hue Shift Parallels
1 Base Red Hue Parallel
3 Behind the Scenes
1 Concept Art
1 Iconic Characters
2 Posters
1 Autograph Chris Parsons as 4-LOM
