As many of you know, I am on the board of Rancho Obi-Wan, a private nonprofit museum housing the world’s largest collection of Star Wars memorabilia. But not many of you know why I believe so strongly in this organization.

Sure, I'm a huge fan. But what makes Star Wars truly special to me is the creativity and passion that connects us all as a community. Whether it is in the ways we meticulously scrutinize the details of the films, in the expressions we create and share as artists and makers, or in how we tirelessly hunt down little pieces of pop culture history to covet in our collections, we are a global community united by our shared inspiration. I have made many friends and have had many amazing experiences as a part of this community, and I am so thankful for all of them.

Rancho Obi-Wan shares my passion preserving the incredible legacy of Star Wars films and merchandising, and the organization is dedicated to celebrating Star Wars fandom and creativity. Most importantly though, Rancho Obi-Wan is committed to showcasing that creativity in ways that inspire others to pursue their dreams. 

I am proud to contribute to Rancho Obi-Wan and its mission to inspire kids and the kid in all of us. But it takes more than the dedication of volunteers like myself to help Rancho Obi-Wan fulfill its mission. Help me support Rancho Obi-Wan by making a donation. Even a small donation makes a difference!

Every dollar you donate supports:

• The protection and documentation of the collection for future generations
• The ongoing operation of the museum
• Traveling exhibits of specially curated objects
• $125 provides a free educational tour for a local school
• $165 enables us to donate a tour to another charity for their fundraiser

Donate now because your combined resources can ignite even more dreams and creativity in this world.

Every donation of $45 or more receives a one-year membership to Rancho Obi-Wan and a special Thank You gift!

Thanks so much for your support! Please share what you love about Star Wars in the comments below and send this post to other Star Wars fans you know!

I couldn't resist the chance to break more of the latest Topps Star Wars TFA Series 2. Here are pics from another case and a third. Absolutely phenomenal!

It's been a while since I've cracked an Upper Deck title, but I couldn't resist an Alien retrospective set that looks back at all the Alien films, especially a limited release that features autographs from Alien film cast members like Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Lance Hendriksen, Bill Paxton, Paul Reiser, Ron Perlman, Charles Dutton, and more!

Below are pics of my multi-case break. If anything catches your eye, just email me for prices. Enjoy!

Now that I have finally caught up on my Star Wars TFA Series 2 orders, I thought it would be fun to post images of the hits (autographs, sketches, printing plates, and medallions) from my multi-case break. This was a really fun product to crack, and I'd like to send a big shout out to Topps for producing another great set. Many of these are still available, so if something catches your eye, just email me!

My best pull is at the bottom, so make sure you scroll all the way down. Enjoy!

• One 1/1 base card (#96 I believe)
• 1 black plate of card #87
• 3 parallel autos #/50, /25 and /10

As many of you know, I am on the board of Rancho Obi-Wan, a non-profit museum whose mission is to inspire creativity by providing exhibitions and educational programs with the world's largest collection of Star Wars memorabilia. We were thrilled to be a part of the inaugural Silicon Valley Comic Con, which took place this past weekend (March 18 - 20) in San Jose, CA. With over 30,000 in attendance, this year's show was a smashing success, and I expect we'll see the show returning again next year. 

I just want to give a shout out and say thank you to the show organizers for inviting us, to Official Pix for providing some awesome volunteers to help out in our exhibit, to all our old friends and supporters who stopped by, and to the thousands of new friends we made. It was so exciting to introduce the collection to thousands of comic and pop culture fans who weren't familiar with the museum or our non-profit organization. I heard the phrase, "oh my god" so many times that I lost count, but I never tire of hearing someone squeal with excitement when they see a piece that resonates with them. I think the unofficial fan favorite (and mine too) from this exhibit was the 10 foot x 5 foot photomosaic of The Force Awakens poster, comprised of over 1,000 fan photos that were posted on Instagram with the hashtag #sharetheforce at the Target & Star Wars Galactic Experience in Los Angeles the weekend prior to the opening of the film.

Of course, cosplayers were out in force. Here are a couple of my Star Wars faves, including a very young Rey posing for a photo opp with her pal Chewbacca and a Target BB-8 store display (donated to the museum by our friends at Target), and a very creative Han in Carbonite.

I didn't get to spend much time out on the show floor, but I did get the chance to see some amazing Star Wars art by Russ Walks, Jason Palmer, Matt Hebb, Mike Hampton and Brandon Bracamonte, and a super cool new 3D Hologram product line by Zebra Imaging. I also stumbled across some great one-of-a-kind pieces of Star Wars art, including this Star Wars / Disney / Minions mash-up and Stormtrooper helmet.

All in all I think a great time was had by everyone there, and I hope we have the opportunity to return again next year!
