About Callista: A Jedi Knight from the Old Republic era, Callista Ming was a major character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe novels of the mid-1990s. Introduced in Children of the Jedi, her spirit was famously trapped in an Imperial superweapon before she was freed and became a significant romantic partner to Luke Skywalker. This card captures a key figure from the stories that expanded the galaxy beyond the original films for a generation of fans.
Understanding the PSA 9 MINT Grade: A PSA 9 MINT grade is a testament to this card's exceptional condition. According to PSA's rigorous standards, a Mint 9 card is a "superb condition card" with only one very minor allowable flaw, such as a slight printing imperfection or slightly off-white borders. It exhibits sharp corners, full original gloss, and excellent centring. For a chromium Refractor card from the 90s, which is sensitive to surface imperfections, a PSA 9 is a truly high-end, investment-quality grade. Professional grading by PSA guarantees the card's authenticity and provides a reliable, standardized assessment of its condition, all secured within a protective, tamper-evident slab.
