There has been plenty of Star Wars merchandise in the last year -- and there's still more to come along with plenty of movies -- but there are few Star Wars items that are as rare as the Topps Star Wars Galactic Connexions gold discs.
Just five copies of the Slave Leia disc were made for the first series of Connexions -- and they are found via redemptions since they are made of 14-karat gold. Just two of the five have been found -- a collector named Mike was the latest as seen above -- and there are five more in Series 2.
