Archives Vs. Galaxy

[Rogue II]

I was thinking about picking up some of the cards from the Classic Trilogy. Which is the best set to get? I'm considering Archives and Galaxy right now. Are there any others?

I just bought a sealed box of Chrome Archives 2 days ago . . .the guy offered me a good deal, so I bit. I pulled one complete set of course, and came close on a
second - I'm 9 cards short for my second set, I wish to give it to a friend.
They can be pricey though, I just looked on eBay for loose cards that I need and had no luck . . . but people are selling by the box and by the set. If you buy the set, there's one available thru Buy it Now for 24.95, but I bet you could bid on a lower priced one and win it anyway.
I really like the Chrome Archives, but if you remember the original sets, the Archives have an "incomplete" feeling to them, IMO.
They only took 30 cards from each movie and realligned them.
Still, for a 90 card set, it's pretty sweet.
Those clear chase cards (2 per box) are AWESOME while the double sided chrome (3 per box ? ) cards are actually remakes of the old stickers, so I like the look of those.

Galaxy? I have several of them, but not a whole set. It's certainly more diverse, as it includes A LOT of unique artwork and interpretations. Some of them look silly to me, but others are pretty cool.

I can't recommend one set over the other, as I am not familiar with your tastes. But I can say that in terms of getting the most cards and variety for your money, Galaxy might possibly be the best bet.

Thanks for the info. The Archives version sounds pretty cool. I think I bought a pack of Galaxy when they first came out, I'll have to check.

Ba-bump! Well, with news of a 4th series of the successful (IMHO, at least) SW Galaxy cards, try that one when it arrives in February. See the SSG News section for the description and links.
