1977 OPC Star Wars #151 The Dark Lord of the Sith — Raw

Centering estimate: left border noticeably wider than right (approx 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced (approx 55/45 top-bottom), suggesting moderate off-centering but not miscut territory. The orange border shows clear wear and chipping/fraying along the left and bottom edges, with the bottom-left corner appearing distinctly rounded and the top-left corner also showing rounding; right-side corners are harder to assess but show some wear. Surface presents visible scuffing/scratching across the photo area and some creasing or stress lines visible in the upper-right quadrant of the image, consistent with light handling wear. Gloss is noticeably reduced. Collectively, corner rounding, edge fraying, surface scuffs, and the visible stress lines push this into the VG to VG-EX range; a PSA 4 (VG-EX) is the most likely outcome, with 3 possible if the back shows additional creasing.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 — horizontal centering is a concern but not catastrophic. Most critically, the surface shows multiple visible scratches/scuffs running diagonally across the upper portion of the card, clearly visible even at this resolution; these are significant surface defects that drag the grade down materially. Corner detail is difficult to resolve precisely at this scan distance, but the corners appear to show moderate-to-heavy rounding consistent with a VG-range card. The orange border shows some chipping/wear along edges. The combination of surface scratching, apparent corner wear, and centering issues places this squarely in the VG (3) neighborhood, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the scratches are shallower than they appear and corners hold up under magnification.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 65/35 favouring the left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — acceptable for vintage OPC but slightly off-centre left-to-right. Corners: the bottom-left corner shows the most visible wear with slight rounding; the other three appear reasonably sharp but micro-rounding is likely present at this resolution. Edges: the bottom edge shows some roughness consistent with OPC's coarser cut, not penalised per vintage norms; the left edge looks slightly ragged but within tolerance. Surface: the image area shows some light print speckle/snow typical of OPC stock and minor surface cloudiness is possible but no creases are visible; gloss appears moderate. The dark subject matter makes surface wear harder to detect, and corner tips cannot be fully resolved — the range is widened accordingly.
