1977 OPC Star Wars #49 The rebels monitor the raid — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears wider than right (roughly 60/40 L/R) and top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is imperfect but not severely off-center. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear along all four edges, particularly notable on the left and bottom edges where the blue shows nicks and chips consistent with handling — this is the primary grade killer. Corners: all four corners show rounding and softness; none are sharp, suggesting at minimum VG-EX wear across the board. Surface appears reasonably clean with no visible creases or staining in this scan, though the image resolution is insufficient to rule out fine surface scratches or print defects definitively. Overall the edge and corner wear place this card in the VG to VG-EX range (PSA 3–5), with a point estimate of 4 (VG-EX) reflecting moderate but consistent wear without an obvious crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B), so centering is acceptable but not tight. Blue borders show some chipping/wear particularly at the upper-left and lower corners, which is typical for this issue but grade-relevant. Corners appear lightly rounded — not sharp, consistent with EX to EX-MT range; no razor edges visible. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling, no obvious creases or staining detected from this view, but the photo resolution limits close corner inspection. Overall condition reads as EX to EX-MT, estimated PSA 5, with the blue border chipping and corner wear being the primary grade-limiting factors.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. Blue borders show visible chipping or wear along the edges, particularly notable on the left and bottom sides, which is characteristic of OPC blue-border Star Wars cards. Corners appear lightly to moderately rounded — no razor sharpness evident, suggesting at least some handling wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no obvious creases visible from this photo, though the image angle and resolution limit confidence in detecting light surface creases or print defects. The photo is slightly angled, making precise corner and edge assessment difficult; the range is widened accordingly.
