1977 Topps Star Wars #10 Princess Leia - captured! — Raw

Centering estimate: Left border appears narrower than right (~55-60% right lean), top border slightly larger than bottom — rough L/R ratio approximately 60/40 to 65/35, T/B approximately 55/45; centering is off but not severely OC by PSA standards. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and top edges, consistent with this set's known fragility. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding — particularly the upper-left and lower-left corners appear softened, consistent with EX range. Surface gloss appears reduced with some cloudiness/wear visible, though no obvious hard creases are detectable from this angle. The seller's 'EX' self-assessment appears reasonable; the blue border chipping and corner wear push this toward the lower end of EX (PSA 5) rather than EX-MT (PSA 6), though the single front-only photo limits certainty on the back and corner closeup assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern for this series. The blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, which is a classic tell on this set. Corners appear rounded at multiple points — at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right) show evident rounding visible even at this resolution, suggesting EX to VG-EX territory at best. Surface gloss appears reduced with some light wear, and there may be a minor handling crease on the lower portion of the card, though the image resolution makes it difficult to confirm definitively. No writing, tears, or staining detected; back is not visible so cannot assess reverse condition.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — within NM-MT range but not perfect. Blue borders show no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive for this notoriously chip-prone set. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance but soft focus prevents definitive corner assessment — at least 1-2 corners may show light wear. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects noted. The protective sleeve/soft photo prevents confident corner and edge evaluation, widening the range; back condition is unknown and could move the grade in either direction.

Centering estimate from photo: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — left-to-right centering is a concern but not extreme; no adjacent card printing visible so no miscut. The blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with this set's known fragility. Corners appear to have mild-to-moderate rounding — at least two corners (top-right and bottom-right) show softening visible even at this resolution, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some loss; no obvious creases are visible but the angle and resolution prevent a definitive call on the back. Estimate lands at PSA 5 (EX) as the most likely grade given corner wear and border chipping, with the range spanning VG-EX (4) to EX-MT (6) depending on what a flat, high-resolution inspection reveals.

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) — centering is passable but not tight. The blue border shows significant chipping and wear along all four edges, which is endemic to this issue but here is heavy enough to hurt the grade materially. All four corners appear rounded with visible wear, particularly the bottom-left and bottom-right corners which show clear fraying. Surface exhibits multiple creases — at least one diagonal crease is visible across the upper-left quadrant of the image area, and additional surface stress lines are present lower on the card. Gloss appears largely lost. The combination of rounded corners, visible creases, heavy border chipping, and edge wear places this squarely in the VG to VG-EX range; the crease visible on the image surface is the grade-limiting factor pushing toward the lower end.
