1977 OPC Star Wars #42 Stormtroopers attack! — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% of right border width), suggesting roughly 60/40 L/R off-center lean to the right; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is serviceable but not tight. Blue border chipping is a known issue with OPC/Topps Star Wars and the borders here show visible wear and some chipping/fraying, particularly along the left and bottom edges, which would cap grade in the EX range. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding — not sharp, consistent with a well-handled card; no razor points visible at any corner. Surface shows some loss of gloss and possible light soiling or print snow but no obvious crease is visible from this image; back cannot be assessed. Overall characteristics place this card in the EX (5) range, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners and surface are cleaner than they appear, and VG-EX (4) if the back shows wear or a crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Blue borders show some minor chipping/wear consistent with the set's known fragility, most visible along the left edge. Corner detail is partially obscured by the overall image resolution, but the lower-left corner appears to show some light rounding; upper corners look relatively sharp. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or major staining visible. Cannot assess the back or get close-up corner detail from this single photo, so a range of EX to NM is appropriate pending inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears notably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), which is marginal but within NM territory. Blue border shows some typical OPC chipping/wear visible along the bottom and right edges, consistent with this issue. Corners appear lightly worn — at least two corners show minor rounding visible at this resolution, likely bumping this to EX-MT range rather than NM. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the photo angle slightly limits assessment of surface texture. Overall condition consistent with a PSA 6 EX-MT, with corners and border edge wear being the primary grade limiters; a 7 is possible if corners hold up better under close inspection.
