Collect the correct editions

Journey's standard 110-card base also has Green, Black, Silver, Lightsaber Neon, Purple, Hoth Ice /150, Gold /50, Holofoil /25 and Imperial Red 1/1 parallel finishes. Different finishes are physically different card versions. The eight original Character Silhouette Foils are complete as eight, not nine.

Illustrated Empire's original 100 base cards adapt the longer radio drama. The 25 film-cel cards deliberately skip some FR numbers. The four Force Awakens preview cards have separate identities, even where their printed numbers coincide with illustrated base numbers. The correct original #64 title is The Falcon's Escape.

The card search covers original numbered releases and separately documented inserts. Autograph signers, one-off sketches, film-cell material and reprinted older card buybacks require their own identified physical versions.
