Star Wars Cards

Series 3 (Yellow Cards)

This is the third series of vintage Star Wars cards by Topps from 1977 and the cards feature a yellow border while the stickers feature a black 'movie reel' style border. There were 66 cards running from number 133 to 198 and 11 stickers running from numbers 23 to 33.

Card backs are split between puzzles and 22 descriptions. These descriptions come together to make a mini Star Wars encyclopedia, detailing different aliens, ships and other items from the franchise's early mythology.

Other than the card's yellow border color, the biggest change for Series 3 came with the stickers. The design changed from a space backdrop to one that resembles a film strip.
