1977 Topps Star Wars #9 Rebels defend their starship! - PSA Mint 9 .
Topps' 1977 Star Wars Series 1 card set is the foundational issue of one of the most important and influential non-sport franchises ever produced, capturing the film's original theatrical release at the very moment it began reshaping popular culture. Issued months before Star Wars became a full-blown phenomenon, the set blends character introductions, key story moments, and world-building visuals that were still fresh and unfamiliar to audiences, from Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia to Darth Vader, stormtroopers, and the Death Star. With its straightforward captions, vivid color stills, and iconic blue-bordered design, Series 1 stands as a true first-generation artifact of the saga, prized by collectors for its historical significance, scarcity in high grade, and status as the starting point of the legendary Topps Star Wars run.

Offered here is a Series 1 card, "Rebels defend their starship!" #9. PSA has certified 89 copies earning a Mint 9 grade with only 25 graded higher.
