Gaff Blister Card Cromalin
Whoa! This is one of the few examples of the Gaff blister card format that I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. As you can see, the insect-like Gaff is molesting poor C-3PO, who is so distraught that he's sunk to his metal knees to beg for mercy. The piece is a cromalin, meaning it's from an earlier phase in the production process than is a typical proof card. Cromalins are printed on a plastic-like material with a tremendous amount of detail. The original art for this piece can be seen here.

This cromalin is actually part of a partially-cut sheet. It's connected to an equally-cool representation of the Mungo Baobab card artwork.
