1977 Topps Star Wars #107 The Tusken Raider

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top), suggesting roughly 60/40 L/R and 60/40 T/B — acceptable for the grade range but not tight. The red borders show no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this series. Corners cannot be assessed with high precision due to the sleeve glare and slightly soft image, but they appear to show some rounding/wear consistent with an EX (5) grade rather than EX-MT (6) — no sharp points evident. Surface appears intact with no visible creases, and gloss appears present but partially obscured by the protective sleeve. The seller's 'EX' self-description aligns with the visual evidence; the wide range reflects the inability to confirm corner sharpness or back condition from this single image.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right by a moderate margin (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so, consistent with typical Series 2 wandering. Corners show visible rounding/softening at all four tips, particularly noticeable at the lower corners, consistent with EX (5) to VG-EX (4) wear. Red border edges appear intact without obvious chipping or fraying, though the photo softness limits edge inspection confidence. Surface gloss appears moderately retained with no obvious creases visible, supporting the seller's EX claim, but corner wear pushes this toward the 4-5 range rather than the 6 the seller implies; the sleeve/glare prevents definitive surface assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (roughly 55L/45R), top border appears noticeably thinner than bottom (approximately 60T/40B top-to-bottom), so centering is workable but not tight — no OC flag. The red borders show some light chipping/wear typical of this set, most visible at corners which appear to have minor rounding consistent with an EX (5) grade. Surface gloss is moderately intact but the sleeve/loader creates glare that prevents a clean read on surface scratches or print defects. No creases are visible from this angle. The seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with the visible evidence; corners and border wear suggest a range of VG-EX to EX-MT, with EX being the most defensible single grade pending a corner and back inspection.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 55/45 (acceptable), top/bottom appears roughly 60/40 slightly favoring top — centering is within EX-MT range. The red borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with this set's known fragility. Corners appear lightly to moderately rounded — at least 2-3 corners show softening visible at this resolution, suggesting EX to VG-EX range rather than NM. Surface gloss appears partially intact but muted, with no obvious creases visible from this scan. The photo resolution limits precise corner and edge assessment, widening the range; the red border chipping is the primary grade-limiter here.
