Topper Cards

Let's take a look at the "topper" cards. These are not part of the 100 foil cards in the Reflections II set but are special premium cards.

Each display box should have one individually wrapped "box topper" card, on top of the packs inside the lid - one of four special foil premium cards:
Boba Fett With Blaster Rifle
Han With Heavy Blaster Pistol
Leia With Blaster Rifle
Obi-Wan With Lightsaber

You should get one of these cards, randomly selected, either by obtaining a display box of 30 packs (still sealed with Decipher's shrink wrap), from your retailer as a single, or by trading.

There is also an extra-special "case topper" card:
Darth Vader (Japanese)

Decipher does many things for the players and collectors, and so the case topper is intended to be a benefit for Decipher's distributors and retailers, to be used for special promotions. As a result, these cards will not go directly to the consumer as one might expect.

As a consumer, you should be able to get a Japanese Darth Vader by ordering a whole case, or by trading, or from your retailer's display case, or through a promotion your retailer might be offering since you're a regular customer.

Alternately, at some point in the future, these cards will probably be made available through some other promotional programs straight from Decipher. This is also true of other recent foil cards which are more difficult for some consumers to obtain, such as the Imperial Star Destroyer and Clash of Sabers foil cards.

Such programs will attempt to make these cards available directly to the consumer without degrading the value of cards already out there, which have been given as a special "thank you" to Decipher's distributors and retailers.

Signing off for 2000... I hope everyone will have a great holiday!
