Overall Grade: B-/B
Pros: Really nice Lightsaber medallions, and Rogue One & Solo inserts.
Cons: Definitely not 1996 Finest. Some backgrounds interfere with the image. Kind of look like defects. While refractors are on thicker stock it would have been better to print "REFRACTOR" or "R"# on the back. Price!!!

I hadn't planned on purchasing a box of this, but one was there in my local shop one day. I couldn't resist.

1st mini box:
17 base cards
3 base refractor parallels
1 blue refractor, #91 numbered 089/150
1 green refractor, #37 numbered 36/99
2 Solo inserts, SO-4 and SO-12
2 Droids and Vehicles inserts, DV-8 and DV-15
1 Rogue One insert, RO-5
1 Ahsoka Tano Lightsaber Hilt Medallion card LM-AS2, orange parallel numbered 05/25

2nd mini box:
19 base cards
3 base refractor parallels
1 blue refractor, #50 numbered 037/150
1 orange refractor, #83 numbered 22/25
2 Solo inserts, SO-7 and SO-16
2 Droids and Vehicles inserts, DV-3 and DV-10
1 Rogue One insert, RO-16
1 autograph redemption card for an orange refractor of Riz Ahmed

I found that the easiest way to identify the base refractors was to look at the side of the cards. The white side on the thicker card made it easier to pick them out.

This is the second time that I have pulled a redemption card for a Topps Star Wars autograph card. The first time was last April for a 2017 release, and I still don't have it. I hope this one is delivered sooner rather than later.
