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

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders look close to even (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off horizontally but not severely so. The blue borders show visible chipping and white spotting consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars wear, particularly along the top and left edges. Corners: all four corners show rounding and wear — no sharp points are evident, with the bottom corners appearing softer than the top, suggesting VG to VG-EX corner condition. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled in areas, and some light surface wear is visible; no crease is clearly visible from this angle but the photo does not allow definitive ruling out of light creases. Overall, the blue border chipping, rounded corners, and modest centering offset point to a PSA 4 (VG-EX) as most likely, with the range acknowledging uncertainty about back condition and potential hidden creases.

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 acceptable for this issue and not a significant grade limiter. Blue border shows visible chipping/wear along the left and top edges, consistent with the known fragility of this series' blue borders. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding, particularly at the upper-left and lower-left; no corner is sharp enough for NM territory. Surface appears to retain decent gloss with no obvious creases visible, which is consistent with the seller's 'EX' self-assessment. The image does not allow close inspection of the back or fine corner detail, so a range of 4–6 is warranted; a PSA 5 EX is the most likely outcome given the border chipping and corner wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 left-right favoring left), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 top-heavy) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with EX-range. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear speckling characteristic of this issue, most apparent along the left and top edges; this border wear alone is grade-limiting. Corners cannot be fully resolved through the case glare but appear to show light rounding — no sharp points visible, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears moderate under the glare; no creases are visible from this view, which aligns with the seller's 'EX' self-assessment. The plastic case obstructs precise corner and edge assessment, widening the range; back condition is unknown.

Centering estimate: left border appears wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — not ideal but not severely off-center. The blue border shows visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with the well-known fragility of the 1977 blue series borders. Corners appear rounded at least at two visible corners (lower-left and lower-right), suggesting moderate wear placing the card in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears diminished but no obvious creases are detectable from this single photo, though the top-loader glare obscures the upper portion of the card. Given the corner rounding and blue border edge wear visible, a grade of 4 (VG-EX) seems most likely, with the range spanning 3–5 depending on reverse condition and what close inspection of corners reveals.

The card is photographed sideways and in dim light, making precise centering measurement difficult. Left/right border ratio (as printed, now appearing top/bottom in frame) appears roughly 70/30 or worse, and top/bottom (now left/right) looks similarly off-center, suggesting centering in the 75/25–80/20 range at best. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along multiple edges, consistent with typical handling of this issue. Corner inspection is hampered by lighting but at least two corners appear noticeably rounded or soft rather than sharp. Surface gloss appears reduced with possible light creasing visible in the center of the image area, though the rotation and darkness prevent certainty. Without better lighting and corner close-ups this range of 2–4 reflects honest uncertainty; a crease or heavier corner wear could push this to a PSA 2.

Centering estimate: left border noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders appear roughly 60/40 top-heavy — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear consistent with this issue's known susceptibility, particularly along the left and bottom edges. Corners appear rounded at all four points, with the bottom-left corner showing the most rounding visible even at this resolution. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss evident across the image area, and there is a slight worn/handled look to the card overall. The low-resolution scan and sleeve glare prevent confident assessment of fine surface scratches or creases, so the range is widened accordingly; a crease cannot be ruled out.

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 acceptable for a 6-7 range. Blue border shows no obvious heavy chipping but some light wear is visible along the edges consistent with typical Star Wars blue-border fragility. Corners appear lightly worn — not sharp enough for 8+ but not visibly rounded to the degree that would suggest below 5; upper-left corner looks the softest of the four. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases or staining, though fine print defects and gloss loss cannot be fully ruled out at this resolution. The single overhead photo is well-lit but no corner macro shots are available, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border notably wider than right (~65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders appear roughly equal (~55/45 T-B) — off-center left-to-right but not catastrophically miscut. Blue border shows significant chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with heavy handling. All four corners appear rounded and show visible wear, consistent with a VG or lower grade. Surface shows gloss loss and minor scuffing visible across the photo area; no obvious hard crease is confirmed from this angle, but the seller self-discloses 'poor condition' which is taken seriously. A PSA 3 (VG) is the most likely outcome given rounded corners, border chipping, and gloss loss; the range accounts for the possibility of a hidden crease pushing it to 2, or slightly better surface preservation landing it at 4.
