Is this a promo? If not, is it scarce? When was it issued?

A never released chase card. I've seen them on ebay.

Vader hologram card is included with the Galaxy 1 Factory Set and C3PO/R2D2 is included with the Galaxy 2 Factory Set.

They are not rare.

I have a Topps Star Wars promo that is not listed in PCE, which no one seems to talk about

It is an unnumbered card, that was apparently given out by some artist at a UK show, back in the mid-2000s. It is not a sketch card. It depicts, from what I recall, a prototype drawing of a space ship from one of the original Star Wars movies, and the back talks about how the artist designed same. It is definitely by Topps. Sort of an unusual card. Has anyone else seen this one ?

It came from the Memorabilia show. Topps had set up at the show and had one the artists at their table. He was doing these for anyone who went up and asked for one.

Do you have a scan? Off the top of my head I do not recall ever hearing of this card from the description.

I can post a scan later this week

Wolfie, to clarify, the card had a printed sketch on it of a spaceship. When you said the artist was "doing it", that suggests that he drew something on it. This was not a sketch card that someone drew on. It is a regular card by Topps.

I know these have sold on ebay in the past but I don't seem to be able to locate one.

Yes, that appears to be the one I have. I thought the front image was different, but it's been a few years since I have looked at mine. It's likely the same.

I recall when these came out, they were selling for $100
