Which version (hobby or retail) is this card, and what is the difference?

Retail. The reason is pretty simple. check both checklists and compare the number of the card. card #56 of the hobby se is "Explosion in the Trench."

For more information on the set and other star wars sets too, go to this link.

I hadn't thought of that, thanks! That being said, aside from trusting that each checklist was made for the correct cards in this case, what is the identifying characteristic of the individual sets?

I posted those checklists...and originally posted my retail cards to the hobby set and had to get Admin to correct it. Oops!

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Hah! Get back to me after you've read every Star Wars novel and comic book :) OK, granted, I am missing a few of the comics from my collection, and one of the novels still eludes me...
