What is the rarest SWCCG Tournament Foil?

My vote is going to be for Imperial Star Destroyer/Corvette or one of the Dejariks, is that right?

 

Ghhhk, in my opinion.

Well, ther's kind of two categories here...

The rarest general foils are the DCon ones mentioned above (ImpStar and Corvette) which one got for simply attending DCon.

However if you want to know the hardest tourny foils that you actually have to win a tourny to get, then that would be the Battle Plan/Order set. The foils were only available to players who played in D's "Battle of Endor" events (Death Star II/Endor cards-only).

 

True... but from the point of distribution, I still think the Ghhhk is the hardest to get. I don't know if the issue of distribution at the time of the Decipher/Player Committee transition had anything to do with it, but the availability of that particular card was next to non-existent. I'm judging my opinion on the rarity of that particular card even in the ebay environment. I don't think I've seem more that 7 or 8 of them go up for auction, and the selling price on them was astronomical. It was the hardest card for me to get into my collection.

Thanks for the info! I've been saving my money for a while and wanted to buy the rarest Foil out there. I guess that Ghhhk it shall be!

 

Well finding one is another story. It's also important to remember that the foils are still cycling through as prize support. I haven't been keeping track as to which foils are currently up for distribution by the Player's Committee. Something hard to find at the moment might not always be so.

Distribution-wise, the DCon foils, Battle foils, and Imp Barrier are harder to attain than Ghhhk. The reason you don't see Ghhhk foils for sale a lot is because everyone uses them in their decks.

 

I wish I could afford to play with Tourney Foils in my deck. To dish out $5-$35 for a T Foil and then just play with it... I could never bring Myself to do that but it certainly would be impressive. Which ones are still in circulation? I'm glad I was informed of this!

 

So far the only ones I have are Darth with Saber and Rebel Barrier- which reminds me: Isn't Rebel Barrier foil the same rarity as Imperial Barrier foil? Sorry to bog you down with all the questions but I'm fairly new to collecting the T Foils.

 

It's np

The Rebel Barrier is easier to attain because 1) it was given out to everyone that attended a Decipher SWCCG Open in 2001 (meaning there are a lot in circulation) and 2) it isn't as popular in LS decks these days.

The Imp Barriers are very difficult to find because there was a very limited number made. Most were given to distributors to be given to retailers as part of an incentive program. Most retailers were never made aware of this and are thus either sitting in a dozen areas collecting dust or in the homes of the distributors and his friends (forgotten). Those retailers that did get these foils posted them on ebay right away. The 8 or so that I saw listed scaled from $300-$600. Eventually, the rest (like 500) were made available through a promotion when Decipher's online store opened last year. It's been some time since I have seen one on ebay, but the last time I did, I believe they were still pushing $60-$100+

 

That much for one card?

 

Was Qui-Gon w/Saber given WITH Darth Maul w/Saber, or were they seperate? (Light player/Dark player?)

 

Yep. That much. I remember watching the final hours of the first Imp Barrier that ended around $630. Who says this game doesn't have value

The Maul and Qui are awarded like all other foils. Each TD gets one LS and one DS. The winning player chooses one of them and the otehr is given away randomly.
