2012 Topps Star Wars Galactic Files goes big with its checklist. Really big. Intended to be an encyclopedia of sorts, it scours multiple corners of the Star Wars Universe for a comprehensive set that delves into characters, vehicles, species and more.
Even with the base set acting as a strong foundation, there are some major components found in the product’s chase elements including a sketch card in every hobby box and a list of autograph signers that has several top-tier names.
2012 Topps Star Wars Galactic Files Checklist Overview
At 350 cards, to date 2012 Topps Star Wars Galactic Files was the largest single-series release for a set of Star Wars trading cards. Over half of that is dedicated to a film-by-film breakdown in episode order of key characters. The first six movies are covered. Other subsets dig into the expanded universe, vehicles, creatures and factions.
Besides beside big in scope, base cards are also big in information. Each card offers a sizeable write-up about the subject, numerical rankings in several areas and links to other characters.
Packs have three levels of parallels: Blue Foil (/350), Red Foil (/35) and Gold Foil (1/1).
Printing Plates are also available, however these were sold separately. Each plate set included the four colors required for production as well as an exclusive set of 24 base set expansion cards.
Taking a page from their sports lines, Topps also did variations for three cards. These short prints look like regular base cards but have different photos and captions on the front.
2012 Topps Star Wars Galactic Files Autographs and Other Inserts
2012 Topps Star Wars Galactic Files hobby boxes have a pair of premium inserts, a sketch card and either an autograph or manufactured patch card.
The list of signers is relatively small with just 17 people. Among them are the big three of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill. James Early Jones, Patrick Mayhew and Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner are among the other high-profile signatures available in the product.
Even with the large base set that requires multiple boxes to build, 2012 Topps Star Wars Galactic Files has a handful of complimentary insert sets: Classic Lines (ten cards, 1:4 packs), Duels of Fate (ten cards, 1:6 packs), Galactic Moments (20 cards, 1:6 packs), Heroes on Both Sides (ten cards, 1:6 packs) and “I Have a Bad Feeling About This” (eight cards, 1:4 packs), which highlights the times the line has been used in the movies.
