This is the second of two parts celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the 1993 release of Topps Star Wars Galaxy. That spring, Topps launched its first Star Wars product in a decade, after the movie tie in cards and products of Return of the Jedi.
In part one we talked to Sean Taggart who was the Topps project manager for the first Galaxy set, under the direction of Gary Gerani.
Tonight on the program we talk with several guests who can give us a wide scope of how the hobby was at the time of the first galaxy release, to the modern Chrome Galaxy cards of today.
