In 1980, following the success of <i>Star Wars </i>(1977) and five tie-in trading card series based on the blockbuster film, Topps released three new series of collectible bubble gum cards to coincide with the release of<i>The Empire Strikes Back</i>. Now, for the first time, all 352 cards and 88 stickers are reprinted in a single deluxe volume. Reproducing the fronts and backs of each card, this collection includes character pro­files, story cards, movie facts, quotes, trivia, and puzzles featuring beloved characters and scenes from <i>The Empire Strikes Back</i>. Also included are four bonus trading cards, the Photo Card series, rare promotional images, and an introduction and commentary by Gary Gerani, the original editor of Topps’s<i>Star Wars </i>series.<br><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div>
