1977 Topps Star Wars #101 The Wookiee Chewbacca

Centering estimate: left border noticeably wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~55/45 T/B) — centering alone is not catastrophic but adds to overall concern. The upper-left corner shows heavy creasing/crushing visible even at this resolution, with what appears to be paper stress or a fold; the upper-right corner also shows wear and chipping of the red border. The red border along the left and top edges shows significant surface scuffing and border chipping consistent with heavy handling. Surface gloss appears largely gone with visible wear lines; the combination of corner damage, border chipping, and apparent surface creasing in the upper region places this card firmly in the Good (2) to Very Good (3) range, with the severity of the upper-left corner damage pulling the estimate toward the lower end.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable but not tight. The red border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is encouraging for a 1977 Topps card. Corners appear to have light rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no corners appear sharply crisp enough to push above 7. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the scan angle slightly compresses edge detail. Without a tight corner closeup or back image, a range of 5–7 is appropriate; the most likely outcome given the visible light corner wear and centering lands at 6 (EX-MT).

Centering: left border appears roughly 55-60% of total horizontal space vs. right at 40-45%, top border slightly wider than bottom — call it approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which is acceptable for PSA 7-8 on its own but other factors drag the grade down. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, particularly the lower-left and upper-left corners which appear soft and lightly frayed — consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. The red border shows minor chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, which is typical for this issue but is still deducted under PSA standards. Surface shows some light handling marks and minor gloss loss visible in the image area, no obvious creases detected but a full crease assessment requires back inspection. Overall condition profile points to PSA 4 (VG-EX) as the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and no back issues exist.
