1977 OPC Star Wars #38 Luke and Han in the refuse room

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so, within EX-EX-MT range. Blue border shows visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with the known fragility of OPC blue-border stock. Corners appear lightly to moderately rounded — the bottom-left corner looks the softest, suggesting EX (5) territory rather than EX-MT (6). Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, no creases or staining are evident from this scan. The protective sleeve and image compression obscure fine corner and surface detail, widening the range; a confirmed crease or additional corner damage could push this toward VG-EX (4).

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. Blue borders on 1977 OPC/Topps Star Wars are notorious chippers and the top-left and top-right corners both show visible wear and slight rounding visible even through the sleeve; bottom corners appear marginally better but are not sharp. Surface shows the expected mild gloss loss for a 45-year-old blue-border card with no obvious creases or staining visible from this angle, but the top-loader glare obscures fine surface detail and prevents confident crease ruling. No miscut, no writing, no major print defects noted; the blue border chipping and corner rounding are the primary grade-limiting factors, placing this squarely in the EX to VG-EX range.
