1977 Topps Star Wars #10 Princess Leia - captured!

Centering estimate — left blue border reads roughly 10-11 px equivalent vs. right border ~8 px, suggesting mild left-heavy bias; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, estimating L/R ~55/45 and T/B ~60/40, which is acceptable for the grade range. Blue border chipping is the primary concern on this series and the scan lacks the resolution to confirm edge chip detail — the bottom and right blue borders appear intact but the scan compression makes fine chip assessment impossible. Corners appear reasonably sharp in the image but softness of the scan prevents confident corner-tip evaluation; no obvious rounding is visible but no razor sharpness is confirmable either. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious crease lines or staining visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. The range is widened to 5–7 because the scan resolution is insufficient to assess blue border chipping, corner micro-wear, and surface texture with the precision this series demands; a higher-resolution image or in-hand examination would be required to narrow further.

Centering estimate: left border noticeably wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~50/50 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Blue border shows visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges consistent with typical Star Wars blue-border handling wear. Corners appear rounded and softened — all four show rounding visible at normal viewing distance, consistent with a VG-EX (4) to EX (5) range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling; no creases are clearly visible in this photo, though the seller's self-disclosed grade of 4 (VG-EX) aligns plausibly with what is visible. Without corner macro shots or back inspection, a crease cannot be ruled out, holding the floor at 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not dramatically so, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. The blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, which is typical for this issue but still grade-relevant. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding — at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right) show softening visible even at this resolution, pushing away from NM territory. Surface shows no obvious creases but scan quality is insufficient to confirm gloss retention or rule out fine scratches. The image is soft enough that fine corner and surface detail is obscured, warranting a widened range of 4–6 with a point estimate of 5 (EX).

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not dramatically so, within EX-MT range on its own. The blue borders show visible chipping/wear particularly on the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical 1977 Star Wars blue-border fragility. Corners are difficult to assess precisely at this resolution but appear to show moderate rounding — at least two corners look soft/rounded, suggesting VG-EX to EX territory rather than NM. Surface shows some gloss loss and the scan reveals possible light handling marks or minor soiling, though no creases are clearly visible. Overall the card presents as a mid-grade raw copy in the VG-EX to EX range; range is widened slightly because corner and surface detail is partially obscured by scan quality.
