10 Lies About Star Wars You Probably Believe

As seen in the likes of one particular NBA legend LeBron James-sporting piece of cardboard being put up for grabs for around $6 million recently, highly exclusive trading cards have a habit of being quite valuable from time to time.

And in the case of one specific Star Wars trading card that first reared its head in the midst of 1978's Topps Star Wars collection, fans had long believed that a certain "enhanced" edition of a C-3PO card had substantial market value should you get your lucky paws on it.

As uncovered by Snopes.com, the #207 trading card which depicted Anthony Daniels' hapless robot sporting a rather well-upgraded apparatus, thought to be a “trick of timing and light” and not the work of a "mischievous airbrush artist", was initially thought to be extremely rare and therefore rather valuable.

Yet, in reality, the same number of cards were printed of this "obscene" Threepio as any other of the Topps collection before the card was reprinted without the additional, erm... length. Meaning that if you do just so happen to stumble upon a well endowed protocol droid, you're likely not going to fetch Lebron levels of cash for the risqué bot.
