1977 OPC Star Wars #33 The droids in the Control Room — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R tilt), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. All four corners show visible rounding/softening consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no corner is sharp enough to suggest NM or better. The blue border shows some chipping and edge wear along the left and bottom edges, typical of OPC Star Wars stock. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some light cloudiness or handling wear visible in the scan, but no obvious creases are detectable from this image; back is unseen so a hidden crease cannot be ruled out, widening the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 15-18% wider than right border (approx 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) - centering is acceptable for EX range. The blue OPC border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably the left and bottom edges where the blue shows clear white stress marks and nicks consistent with handling wear. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding - no sharp points visible at this resolution, consistent with EX (5) to VG-EX (4) range. Surface shows some print snow typical of OPC 1977 blue-border issues and modest gloss loss but no visible creases are detectable from this photo. Seller's 'EX condition' self-assessment aligns with the visual evidence; range widened slightly downward to 4 due to edge chipping on the blue border which PSA penalizes on this issue.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left/35-30% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top/bottom) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Blue borders show typical OPC chipping wear along all four edges, most visible on the left and bottom edges. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding consistent with a 5 EX range; no razor sharpness remains but no severe blunting either. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible, though the image resolution limits a definitive call on subtle surface wear. No staining, writing, or print defects beyond normal OPC print snow noted; back is unseen so grade range is widened accordingly.
