1994 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 2 is the followup to the popular release from the previous year. The look and feel is almost exactly the same, but that’s not a bad thing when the focus is on Star Wars art.
1994 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 2 Checklist Details
The base set has 135 cards, which is down slightly from the original’s 140. The art for about the first half of the set comes from several areas including Ralph McQuarrie sketches, comics, posters, merchandise and other production art. It’s an inside look into the vast Star Wars Universe and its many facets.
The second half of the base set is new artwork under the title “New Visions 2.” These cards let artists loose with different styles and takes on characters.
Another six-card set of Etched Foil cards is the primary chase element in 1994 Topps Star Wars Galaxy 2. Once again, they fit together to form a puzzle.
Redemptions for an artist autograph were included in packs. These were good for a randomly selected card, which isn’t any different than a base card with the signature. That makes differentiating one sent by Topps through the product virtually impossible to tell from one signed at a convention or through the mail.
A factory tin set came with both the base set and the Etched Foil inserts. Some exclusive cards were also included. The base set is a little different, coming with a foil stamp. The inserts have more of a patterened background to them, making them noticably different from the pack-inserted cards. A Hologram of R2-D2 and C-3P0 is also included in the tin set.
The Infamous P3 Yoda Promo Card
1994 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 2 has one of the most notorious cards ever created for the franchise. Promo card P3 pictures Yoda worshiping other “Yodas.” While some got out, the card was cancelled, instantly creating one of the most coveted Star Wars trading cards of all-time. The card was later reprinted as a part of 2009 Topps Star Wars Galaxy 4. There was both a basic reprint that came serial numbered and an autographed version signed by artist John Rheaume. The original P3 card still commands big prices on the secondary market.
