Topps

The collectibles company The Topps Company, also referred to as Topps Collectibles, or just Topps, has its headquarters in New York City. While widely recognized as a prominent manufacturer of baseball cards and other trading cards related to sports, Topps has also collaborated with Lucasfilm since 1977. This partnership has resulted in the regular release of numerous Star Wars trading card series. Topps was also the publisher of Star Wars Galaxy Magazine, and its continuation, Star Wars Galaxy Collector. Additionally, they produced a trading card game called Star Wars PocketModel TCG through their WizKids Games subsidiary, along with a selection of Star Wars comic books.

Beginning in 2015, the original trading card sets were republished as hardcover volumes by Abrams Books. Star Wars: The Original Topps Trading Card Series, Volume One was the first publication in this series.
