Oversized and undersized cards

Oversized and undersized cards are Decipher Star Wars CCG premiums printed larger or smaller than the 63×88 mm playing card. The 5×7 show premiums were given for spending $20 at the Decipher convention store, or packed as Reflections box toppers. Magazine inserts include an InQuest Princess Leia Organa (about 3.5×5 with a punch-out miniature) and a Scrye Boba Fett sticker. InQuest also inserted an undersized R'kik D'nec, Hero Of The Dune Sea punch-out. Normal-size tournament foils are listed at Promotional Foils, and Mara Jade: Flesh and Blood covers Mara Jade's two 5×7s in depth.[1]

All but one are different-size versions of regular cards: Mara Jade, The Emperor's Hand, Aurra Sing (AI), Hunt Down And Destroy The Jedi / Their Fire Has Gone Out Of The Universe, Mind What You Have Learned / Save You It Can, Princess Leia Organa, Boba Fett, and R'kik D'nec, Hero Of The Dune Sea. The exception is the group 5×7 Mara Jade & •Corran Horn & •Talon Karrde, which has no regular-size version.

Radio Free Decipher (22 June 2001), reported the next day by Yarua on TheForce.net: Decipher would make the group card available at Origins, San Diego Comic-Con, GenCon, Wizard World, and DragonCon so fans could get autographs from Shannon Baksa (Mara Jade), Michael A. Stackpole (Corran Horn), and Timothy Zahn (Talon Karrde). "No Game Text (you'll need room for autographs!)" The three had been shot together when Decipher photographed the individual Reflections II: Expanding the Galaxy cards.[9]

Convention booth displays

Decipher hung oversized card images with velcro tabs on booth walls at Gen Con, Origins and the GAMA trade show. Surviving pieces include a roughly 2 ft × 2 ft Collision and an oversized Chewbacca that came from Jim Colson.[14] Colson kept vinyl velcro booth cards from those walls, including a Death Star and Chewbacca.[15] He also kept a Special Edition vinyl booth card of a Dark Side capital starship.[16]
