This is a look at a few Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back items that I believe I acquired via mail-in promotions. There isn't a lot to say about them, they're simply cool to look at. The four 8" x 11" photos are from the Star Wars Fan Club in 1980 and I'm fairly certain that the movie logo patch is from that as well. What I don't know is where I got the last item from. It's a sheet of Topps trading card stickers from The Empire Strikes Back Series 2 set. My best guess is that Topps had a mail-in offer to get all of the stickers on a single sheet, and my parents ordered it. Maybe it involved sending in some wrapper and money for postage? It's also very possible that it was part of the fan club package too. I've done many Google searches and wasn't able to find any information on this. It looks like an uncut sheet of stickers, however, it's not thick enough to be card stock. The actual trading card stickers could be flipped over to create the film's poster which can be seen multiple times on the back of this sheet.

[YouTube] Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Fan Club Photos & Topps Stickers
While there really isn't a need for a video of these items, I made one anyway because I've not made many videos lately and it was an easy one to put together. I did edit the photos a little bit, so the scans look better than what you'll see in the video.
