Rare Power of the Force Proof Cards

[Note from Gus: I am posting this as a favor to Steve, and because this is an unusual opportunity for someone to acquire perhaps the rarest and most sought-after sets of prototypes ever offered on the market. This is not the type of thing that an ordinary Star Wars collector would pursue, but I also believe it should get lots of exposure so it can make it to a nice home. BTW, whoever buys this should photograph it for the Star Wars Collectors Archive!]

Here's your chance to buy a set of Power of the Force proof blister cards. All of these are unused proof blister cards, no bubble, coin, or toy ever attached (like this unproduced Bib Fortuna card pictured here). All are in C-9 to C-10 condition. There are a total of 103 cards, and 77 of them are different counting card variations. They are guaranteed authentic--no copies or fakes, etc. All cards have printed fronts and backs, except for 38 of them which just have printed character fronts.

Without a doubt, this is the largest collection of these cards ever offered on the market. About 40 of these cards were never released (such as Bib Fortuna above), only produced in proof form for testing purposes. Most of these 40 cards are one of a kind. It is estimated that for each character, there are at most 4 Power of the Force proof cards in existence (however for many characters there is only one known existing proof card and they're all in this set). One of these proof cards is the American Yak Face card.

Here are images of some of the cards:
o POTF 2-1B
o POTF Greedo
o POTF Original Han
o POTF Han Bespin
o POTF IG-88
o POTF Imperial Commander
o POTF Original Leia
o POTF Original Luke (Gunner Photo)
o POTF Luke Bespin
o POTF Rebel Soldier
o POTF Star Destroyer Commander
o POTF Walrusman
o POTF (American) Yak Face
o POTF Ben Kenobi
o POTF Card Back

Needless to say, this is a great opportunity to acquire one of the rarest Star Wars collectibles of this nature. Do your homework, these don't turn up very often and as stated almost 40 are one of a kind.

Steve is taking offers over $50,000 on the set (yes, that's four zeros -- ask around to get a sense of past availability and sales of these rare items), so if you're interested in making a bid, please contact him.
