Unofficial repackaged products
Unofficial repackaged products are third-party retail bundles of genuine Decipher Star Wars card packs. They were sold in mass-market stores after Decipher's Star Wars license ended on 31 December 2001.[1]
Vintage Sports Cards boxes
Vintage Sports Cards, Inc. of Conroe, Texas, repacked card-game products for Toys "R" Us.[2] Its Star Wars repack is a window box titled "Collectible Card Game", with Episode I art and no Decipher logo, priced at $14.99 ("Over $45 Value").[3][4] A side panel states that the box contains genuine Star Wars cards "independently repackaged by Vintage Sports Cards, Inc. In Texas".[5] The box measures about 15.5 × 12 × 1 inches (UPC 730528700256).[6]
Contents
The boxes came in two series.[3]
- First series: one starter deck and ten boosters from SWCCG, Young Jedi and Jedi Knights, including Reflections, Tatooine and Special Edition packs.
- Second series: twelve boosters and no starter, mostly early Young Jedi sets plus Jabba's Palace, foreign-language and Unlimited SWCCG packs.
One sealed first-series box holds a Premiere Unlimited starter deck with Death Star II, Jabba's Palace, Reflections III, Young Jedi and Jedi Knights packs. It was offered on eBay for $239.99 in October 2026.[6]
