Spotted these on Ebay...

Mark looks great in that shirt doesn't he?

I don't think this has been seen before though...

I can't imagine any costume or prop from the trilogy being displayed like this today. (Note the handwritten signs and spelling.) It's a wonder they weren't stolen! I also wonder how many people "jumped the rope" for a photo op.

Where were you in '77?

Didn't these just surface on the internet like two weeks ago? This guy probably just printed them on to photo-paper.

The seller is James Van Hise, who was a regular contributor to Starlog Magazine back in the day. Along with a lot of other things.

Interesting. I've never thought of spelling it as "Cee Threepio".

The top photo was in "The Star Wars Scrapbook: The Essential Collection" by Sansweet. The bottom pic I've seen before on various MH tribute sites. Great pics.
