Collect the correct 2016 printing

The original Evolution base is 100 cards plus nine distinct base SP variants limited to 100 each. These are not interchangeable with the same-numbered standard bases. Blue Lightsaber, Purple Lightsaber, Gold /50, Imperial Red 1/1 and printing plates are distinct original finishes. Autographs, patches and additional signed parallel subjects remain separate research work, not unnamed cards represented by generic photographs.

Card images in this archive refer to exact original printed records and remain on their source hosts. No unverified short-print or lenticular pictures are substituted with ordinary base photography.
