Elite Gudz Brings the Dark Side to Topps Star Wars Galaxy Cards

Elite Gudz artists Rolo Ledesma and Mr. Den have contributed original shaped sketch cards to the Topps Star Wars Galaxy 5 trading card set, available in stores now.

For the second year in a row, fans have the chance to receive an original piece of art by one of the Elite Gudz artists when they pick up a pack of Star Wars Galaxy trading cards. Last year’s set including cards by Phetus completely sold out, with sketch cards selling on the aftermarket for a hefty price.

Elite Gudz produced a behind the scenes video documenting the making of the cards, featuring Russ Manning nominated artist, Darth Rolo and Jedi Master, Mr. Den.
