Wild. I was JUST thinking about those Pepsi cans because I came across my old Pepsi Episode I promo baseball cap I got after mailing in bottle caps. There were also randomly inserted gold Yoda cans that could be redeemed for cash! Never did find one.

Amazing that you still have that hat. That's some A+ nostalgia. Woah- $20.00!? I'd completely forgotten about these golden Yodas. Fantastic stuff.

@@TheCargoBayPod I wonder if they put Qui-Gon on the blue can and Obi-Wan on the green can just to bother me?

Little heads up, the reported Fixed Price sales on 130point might not be accurate in BIN instances where the seller sent an offer to watchers and the offer got accepted. In these BIN instances from my experience 130 reports the original BIN listing price rather than the accepted offer.

Thanks for the heads up! That's good to know. I think I once noticed that discrepancy on a card I purchased a long time ago, but didn't remember it until reading this.

I recently picked up a prism of a Queen in Portrait, that artwork is just buttery smooth 🥲 I’m with you on the high tek cards, there’s nothing sexy about a mucus web background design

Makes ya wonder what they were thinking with that design

I was going to bid on that Queen in Portrait X-Fractor, but the seller did claim the card had some damage. Honestly I thought 200 was a little high with what the seller claimed.

Definitely too much for me - but it is a good looking card.

Why would they make clear acetate "luxury" cards and then decide to cover 20% of the card with a basic border design that looks like it belongs on a retail set.

Those cards; literally all of them, are ugly as sin. The backgrounds SUCK. The patterns just feel random as hell; it feels like there's no relation to Star Wars at all. It just feels like they grabbed random stock patterns from Photoshop lol. Also, the image selection is boring and just looks... bad. Like some 72 DPI lookin' images; especially the image selection from the older movies. I get that obviously the image quality on older movies is gonna be worse and taking pictures of cards makes them look worse than they look in-person, but they just look bad. And the stock "just kinda standing there" image selection is SO boring. $100 is absolute highway robbery. This feels exploitative; which... in a way, if people are really willing to spend $100 on SIX cards, they kinda deserve it to me, but also, like... make cool-looking cards. Seriously, These succccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk. Also, love the Hall of Fame segment. That Yoda card is so gloriously stupid and I love it.

The "72 DPI" look is something that really bugs me. It always stands out even more when images are so cleanly cut out and stuck on a background like they are here. Some specific cards/patterns/parallels look okayish in some of the rips I've seen, but I'm definitely way out on this one. High Tek cards have a pretty strong track record on the resale market- not saying that the average pack is gonna make you 100 bucks- but you can definitely get a decent chunk of your gamble back with a bit of effort. A bootleg of that Yoda card may eventually find its way into my collection.
