Glad you were openly critical of some of these cards - that Netted C3P0 was absolutely horrendous, but the TIE you pulled was amazing. I wonder if it's the video but the background on a lot of these cards didn't show through that well. As you can tell I'm going through your older videos now :D
Yes this RotJ Sapphire set has some questionable design choices, way too much sapphire effect and not enough background. IMO the market price reflects it too, as box prices are significantly lower than release price. The Episode 1 set turned out much better. Thank you for your support and comments =)
Sapphires are arguably the most desirable set that Topps makes but I am not liking this one. As you said removing the background makes many cards look odd. I would have kept the background image and used the sapphire effect around the edges.Then I would just have the chase cards with that background removed effect. The back has a vintage look to it which I like as I'm into vintage. Thanks for sharing regardless of my preference these are highly desirable in the marketplace. Cheers.

I like the idea of the set, but do think the execution could have been a bit cleaner. I wouldn't mind ripping another if prices cool a little.
Always enjoy the Star Wars content. Was hoping you could pull an auto!
I have a box of the "flagship" 2023 Star Wars preordered, maybe I'll pull a good one in that one!
I'm with you. There needs to be a little background for context. It's sad Topps made a product that looks so photoshopped.
I'd love to know what their process was. Maybe it was automated and breaks down on some of the images like the net.
I have the 1983 complete set if you'd like to buy?
It’s crazy this should be less then 100 a box DAM greedy Fs!!!!
The background effect is just horrendous. To quote Dr Phil-"What were you thinking"?!??
