1977 OPC Star Wars #59 Alec Guinness as Ben Kenobi — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 60/40 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophic. Blue border shows visible chipping/wear along multiple edges, most notably the left and bottom edges where the blue shows nicks and fraying consistent with a VG-EX or lower card. Corners appear rounded rather than sharp — at least two corners (bottom-left and top-left) show visible rounding under even modest scrutiny, suggesting wear in the 3-4 range. Surface appears to retain some gloss in the photo image area but overall card stock looks slightly worn; no crease is definitively visible from this angle though the image quality cannot fully rule one out. The combination of corner rounding, border chipping, and centering pushes this into the VG to VG-EX range.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is workable but not tight. The 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, with the bottom-left corner showing the most visible wear; no corner is sharp enough for NM territory. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, and a minor print defect or handling mark may be present in the image area though difficult to confirm definitively at this resolution. No creases are visible, which keeps this out of VG territory, but the corner and edge wear combined with border chipping points to EX (5) as the most likely grade, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are sharper than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely so, likely in the EX-MT to NM range. Blue border shows no obvious chipping visible in this photo, which is favorable for an OPC/Topps blue-series card. Corners appear to have light rounding on at least the bottom-left corner visible through the sleeve, consistent with EX-MT; the other corners are harder to assess due to glare. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or heavy scratches visible, but the sleeve glare obscures fine surface detail. Range reflects uncertainty about corner and edge condition not fully resolvable from this single front image.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (estimated ~60/40 L/R) and top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. Blue border shows some visible chipping/wear along the edges, particularly at the bottom corners, consistent with typical OPC blue-border fragility. Corners appear lightly rounded — not crisp but not severely blunted; likely 1-2 corners show mild rounding under magnification. Surface gloss appears reduced but no obvious creases are visible in this photo; some light handling wear is likely given the border condition. The back cannot be assessed from this image, and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — not ideal but within EX-EX-MT range. The blue border shows some chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, which is typical of OPC stock but still grade-relevant. Corners appear to show mild rounding at two or three tips — consistent with EX (5) rather than EX-MT (6). Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, no creases evident from this view. Back condition and true corner sharpness cannot be confirmed from this single front photo, warranting a widened range.
