Super Rare 1977 Star Wars Japan Topps Yamakatsu Box 60 Card Lot Lucky Prize
The box includes 64 total cards -- 60 cards, two extra large jumbo version (measures 6 3/4 inches by 9 3/4 inches) two-sided "lucky prize" cards with original wrapping and two "lucky prize" card holders. The box with all of the card wrappings is also included. Within the 60 standard cards, there are 4 lucky cards and 9 art cards (one of the art cards is also a lucky card -- extremely rare). Bare with me as I try to explain how difficult and how rare finding a box of this version of the Japanese 1977 Star Wars Set is. The larger version set was the most common and available in both cities and the countryside.
The smaller standard version was only available in the countryside (no cities) at "mom and pop" shops and in much, much lower quantities than the larger version. The smaller standard version of the 1977 set mimicked the larger version with the same photo cards (plus an additional 5 artwork trading cards not in the larger set). Among the the standard cards there were a few "lucky" cards that had "lucky" written in red on the back. If a child pulled one of these "lucky" cards, they would get an additional prize from the store keeper.
There were a number of different lucky prizes with one of the prizes available being this extra large jumbo card and another being a card holder. Since this is an item that rarely becomes available, please feel free to message me if you have any questions about this card box and I'll do my best to answer them.
