i wonder what dantooine looks like

all that i know about dantooine was that it was too remote to make an effective demonstration of the power of the death star. i do, however, know that tatooine featured a desert landscape that spawned a mini-collection of baseball cards for me.  here are a smattering of such cards that i've added or transferred to that collection in recent months.

1995 pinnacle rickey henderson
happy birthday (one day late) to the man of steal!

1995 upper deck collectors choice se and silver signature parallel will clark

2003 topps chris magruder
2003 topps quinton mccracken

1999 topps sammy sosa league leaders
hard to tell from the scan, but that's nothing but dirt behind sammy

2021 topps gypsy queen david bote
believe it or not, i've yet to find a star wars card that is cropped such that it would fit in to this mini-collection.

  1. In the 1977 Topps Star Wars set, within the first 25 cards of series 1, there are six cards that would count as Tatooine cards. 1983 ROTJ 41, 42 and 48 would work too.

  2. After Bo pointed out that there are some Tatooine cards in the original SW set, I looked in my box and found a few. I'll PWE them to you in the near future.

    P.S. According to Wookiepedia, Dantooine is filled with lush forests, grasslands, hills, mountains, forests, oceans, lakes, and rivers.
