1977 OPC Star Wars #9 Rebels defend their starship! — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 T/B — horizontal centering is the primary concern. Blue borders show some chipping/wear consistent with this issue's known fragility, particularly visible along the left and bottom edges. Corners appear lightly rounded rather than sharp, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no corner is visibly blunted enough to suggest heavy wear but none shows a razor edge either. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, no obvious creases detected but the low-resolution scan makes it impossible to rule out light surface creases or print defects definitively. The off-centering and border wear are the primary grade drivers here, placing the card most likely in the EX (5) range with VG-EX (4) possible if corner rounding is worse than visible.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — off but within EX-MT tolerance. The blue border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for OPC stock. Corners appear to have light rounding on at least the bottom-left and bottom-right corners visible in the scan, suggesting light wear consistent with EX-MT to EX range. Surface shows some apparent print texture/snow typical of OPC stock but no obvious creases are detectable. The photo resolution and glare prevent confident corner and edge assessment, widening the range; a closer inspection could move this up toward 7 or down toward 5 depending on corner sharpness.
