1977 OPC Star Wars #16 Jawas of Tatooine

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 factor here. The blue border shows visible chipping/wear along the top edge and appears slightly rough on the left edge, consistent with OPC's coarser cut stock. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to sleeve glare, but the bottom-right corner shows rounding suggesting moderate wear; no corners appear sharp/fresh. Surface gloss is partially obscured by sleeve reflection but no obvious creases are visible, consistent with the seller's 'excellent' claim. Conditional range of 5-6 EX to EX-MT pending corner and back inspection — the border chipping and apparent corner rounding keep this out of the 7+ range.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left-heavy), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 top-heavy — overall centering is off, likely in the 70/30 to 75/25 L/R range which is a meaningful defect. The blue border shows visible chipping/wear along the top-left and bottom-left corners, with corner rounding evident at all four corners — consistent with a VG to VG-EX specimen. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled, with some light creasing or handling wear visible near the lower left; no obvious hard crease confirmed but surface stress lines are possible. Back and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is kept wide; a crease or heavier surface wear on the back could push this toward a 3, while clean reverse with only light corner wear could support a 4.

Centering estimate: left blue border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right, top border slightly wider than bottom — approximately 55/45 L/R and 55/45 T/B, centering is acceptable but not tight. The blue borders show noticeable chipping and surface wear consistent with typical OPC stock handling; the bottom-left and bottom-right corners appear rounded under inspection, with the top corners showing moderate wear as well — consistent with a VG-EX range card. Surface shows some scuffing and toning on the image area with visible gloss loss across much of the card face. No creases are clearly evident from this photo, but the overall wear pattern and corner rounding place this solidly in the 4 VG-EX range; the possibility of a hidden crease or additional back wear keeps the floor at 3 VG. Cannot confirm back condition, which is critical for final grade on OPC stock.
