Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left blue border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM-MT range and not a major concern. The blue borders show no obvious chipping visible at this resolution. Corner wear is difficult to assess precisely from this single overview shot; corners appear to have slight softening consistent with light handling, suggesting EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible. The bilingual English/French caption ('Artoo-Detoo is loaded aboard / On place Artoo-Detoo à bord') confirms OPC printing. Without corner macro shots or back inspection, a range of 5–7 is honest; point estimate of 6 (EX-MT) reflects visible light wear on what appear to be slightly rounded corners.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 60/40 T/B — centering is off but not severely so. The blue borders show some light chipping/wear particularly visible on the left edge, which is typical of this issue but does dock the grade. Corners appear lightly rounded with mild wear visible on at least two corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the image resolution limits a confident corner and edge assessment. No miscut detected; the card reads cleanly as a solid mid-grade example.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top/bottom) — left-to-right skew is the primary concern and pushes toward EX or below. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible corners, consistent with a 5 EX or possibly 4 VG-EX grade. The blue border shows no dramatic chipping visible at this resolution but fine edge wear cannot be ruled out given the OPC coarser stock. Surface gloss appears present but image resolution prevents confirmation of print defects or creases; no creases are visible, which is consistent with the seller's title making no crease disclosure.
