1977 OPC Star Wars #141 C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 or 65/35 favoring left; top/bottom appears roughly 55/45 — centering is slightly off but not severely so. The orange border shows some wear and chipping visible particularly along the left and bottom edges, consistent with OPC's lighter stock taking edge wear. Corners appear to show light rounding, especially the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting moderate handling — no sharp razor points visible but no severe rounding either. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling; no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the photo does not provide corner close-ups or a back view, widening uncertainty. Overall impression is an EX to EX-MT copy, with edge and corner wear being the primary grade-limiting factors.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not a significant grade detractor. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners show slight softening visible even at this resolution; upper-right appears reasonably sharp; lower-right is difficult to assess but appears slightly worn — consistent with light handling wear. Surface: there is a visible light mark or scratch on the photo area (right-center of the image), which could be a surface scratch or print artifact and warrants close inspection; gloss appears moderate with some loss. Edges appear clean with no major nicks visible, though the OPC stock and cut quality are typically rougher than Topps US and should not be over-penalized; the actor name on the front confirms this is the OPC Canadian issue.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — reasonably well centered for OPC stock. Corners: all four corners appear intact with minimal blunting visible at this resolution; no sharp pyramiding evident but slight softness on the lower-left corner is possible. Edges: the orange border shows no obvious chipping or fraying; OPC cards typically show coarser cut edges which may account for slight irregularity. Surface: photo image shows full gloss with no visible creases, scratches, or print defects; the orange border is clean with no staining. The card presents solidly in the NM range; corner sharpness limits a push toward NM-MT and the single-photo limitation prevents confirmation of the back or edge condition.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 in favor of the left, and top/bottom reads roughly 55/45 favoring the top — acceptable for a PSA 7-8 vintage card. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution; no obvious blunting or rounding visible, though the bottom-left corner is partially obscured by the starburst logo overlay making full assessment difficult. Edges: the orange border shows no obvious chipping or fraying, which is a positive sign for this series. Surface: the photo image area appears clean with good gloss retention and no visible creases, staining, or print defects apparent; however, this is a single front-facing photo and subtle surface issues, back condition, and fine corner wear cannot be fully assessed, warranting a widened range of 6-8 with a point estimate of 7 NM.

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 45%/55% (acceptable, within PSA 8 range); top/bottom borders appear approximately 40%/60% — top border notably thinner than bottom, pushing toward 7 NM territory at best. Corners: at scan resolution all four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious heavy rounding, though the bottom-left corner behind the starburst logo is obscured — cannot confirm. Surface: appears to have reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, but a subtle white stress mark or surface disturbance is visible in the mid-center of the image near C-3PO's midsection, which could indicate a light surface crease or print defect. Edges appear clean with no visible chipping. Without a back image, corner macro shots, and edge detail, the range must remain wide; the potential surface flaw and top/bottom centering tilt this estimate toward EX-MT (6) rather than NM (7).
