1977 Japan, set of 36.
Yamakatsu standard size set, 1977 Japan. This is a set of 36, that were similar to the oversized set except that the cards were smaller and that there were a few art (versus photo) cards added to the set. 31 of the cards match photos from the oversized set, 5 cards are completely different "art" cards. The colors are vibrant, the cards are glossy, this is one of the best looking vintage Star Wars sets that there is.
This set came in a box, that included the cards each in their own blue envelope so that you couldn't see which card it was. There were winner cards randomly inserted (red writing on back indicating it was a winner), and the box also contained two giant "winner" cards (both different) in a special bag and 2 embossed card holders. The distributor was supposed to sell the cards in the packs, and when a winner card was turned in, the distributer would award the giant "winner" card in the bag to the winner.
Scans are a prize envelope (front and back), both prize cards
(fronts and backs), the complete 36 card set, the display box that would contain
the set, both embossed card holders, the backs of (4) winner cards, and PSA
graded samples.
WANTS FROM THIS SET: Winner cards not shown, and anything else not shown.
