1977 OPC Star Wars #3 The little droid, Artoo-Detoo — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering alone is not the primary concern. The blue border shows significant chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with heavy handling. All four corners appear distinctly rounded with visible fraying, particularly the lower-left and upper-right corners. There appears to be writing/ink marks on the card face (upper right quadrant of the image area), which if confirmed as pen/marker would be a significant surface defect potentially pushing toward PSA 1 qualifier territory. Surface shows gloss loss throughout and possible light creasing; the combination of rounded corners, border wear, apparent surface writing, and overall fatigue places this firmly in the Good-to-VG range at best.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — within EX-MT range on its own. The blue border shows visible chipping/wear on at least the top-left and bottom-left corners, with corner rounding evident; the bottom-right corner also appears slightly soft. Surface gloss appears moderate with some light wear but no obvious creases visible from this angle. Back is not shown and corner wear is difficult to fully assess at this resolution, so the range is widened accordingly — a crease or heavier edge wear on the back could push this toward VG-EX (4), while cleaner corners than they appear here could support EX-MT (6).

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60% right / 40% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55% top / 45% bottom) — left/right off-center is the primary concern, roughly 65/35 to 70/30 range. The blue border on the left edge looks visibly thinner, which on OPC stock (known for coarser cuts and border inconsistency) could push toward a PSA 5-6 ceiling on centering alone. Corners appear to have light rounding visible at the lower-left and lower-right, consistent with a 5 EX grade; upper corners look marginally crisper. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the photo resolution limits fine surface inspection. The bilingual caption ('The little droid, Artoo-Detoo / Le petit droïde, Artoo-Detoo') confirms OPC printing consistent with seller's claim, but this cannot be verified with certainty from the front alone.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right, top border slightly narrower than bottom — approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, within NM-MT range on its own. Blue borders show minor chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical OPC stock fragility. Corners appear slightly soft at 2-3 tips but no heavy rounding visible; the bottom-left corner near the starburst is the hardest to assess. Surface gloss looks reasonably intact with no visible creases, but the scan's moderate resolution prevents definitive corner and edge evaluation — the range is widened accordingly. A PSA 6 (EX-MT) is the most probable outcome given the visible border wear; a clean 7 is possible if corners hold up under loupe.
