1977 OPC Star Wars #8 Grand Moff Tarkin

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear close to even (55/45). Blue borders show typical chipping/wear consistent with the series — visible light nicks and minor color loss on at least the top-left and bottom-left corners. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, but the sleeve glare and scan compression obscure fine surface detail. Corners appear lightly worn rather than sharp, suggesting EX-MT (6) range; a closer inspection could push this to NM (7) if corners are cleaner than they appear, or drop to EX (5) if edge wear is more pronounced on the reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% right-heavy), top and bottom borders look roughly 55/45 top-heavy — approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which is borderline acceptable for NM range but not decisive through sleeve glare. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, particularly the left and bottom edges where the blue is clearly degraded — consistent with EX to VG-EX level edge wear typical of OPC blue-border Star Wars. Corners cannot be assessed with high confidence due to glare, but the lower-left corner appears to show some rounding and the upper-left looks soft. Surface gloss is partially obscured by sleeve but appears present with no obvious creases visible; no writing or staining detected. The range is widened significantly due to sleeve interference hiding corner and surface detail — a corner close-up or back photo would tighten this considerably.
