1977 Topps Star Wars #108 Princess Leia observes the battle! — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders look relatively even (approximately 55/45 T-B); left-right centering is noticeably off but not severe enough for OC qualification. Corners show visible rounding and softening on at least two corners visible (upper-right and lower-right appear moderately worn), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling, no creases are definitively visible in the photo but light surface wear is evident. The red border shows minor chipping/edge wear typical of this series; back cannot be assessed and may harbor hidden issues that could push the grade lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom — approximate L/R ratio ~65/35, T/B ~55/45, so centering is off but not severely OC. Corners: at this resolution the corners show mild rounding on at least the visible top-right and bottom-right, consistent with EX (5) range; no sharp points apparent but no severe blunting either. Surface: gloss appears present but slightly muted, possibly some light handling wear; the red border shows no obvious chipping in the scan. Edges appear reasonably clean with no visible tears or staining; the sleeve glare obscures the left edge detail, preventing a confident upper-bound call above 6, and the seller's self-description of 'EX' aligns with what the photo supports.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is passable for the grade range. Corners show visible rounding and softening on at least two corners (bottom-left most evident), consistent with EX to VG-EX wear; no sharp corners visible. The red border shows no dramatic chipping but surface gloss appears reduced across the card, suggesting moderate handling wear. No creases are visible from this photo, though the image softness from the sleeve limits full confidence in ruling out light surface creases; back cannot be assessed.

Centering estimate: left border roughly 10-12%, right border roughly 8-10%, top border roughly 10%, bottom border roughly 12-14% — left/right reads approximately 55/45 to 60/40, top/bottom approximately 45/55; centering is acceptable and not a primary grade driver here. Corners: at this resolution all four corners show some rounding/softening, with the lower-left corner appearing the most worn and slightly blunted — consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Red border edges show typical light chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, which is characteristic of this series but does reduce the grade. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling visible in the lower half of the card, and no creases are discernible from this photo, though the back is unseen. The seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with what is visible; a range of 4–6 reflects uncertainty around corner and edge wear that cannot be fully resolved without higher-magnification corner shots and a back image.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 65/35 favoring top — moderate but not severe miscentering consistent with EX-EX-MT range. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on all four; no sharp points are visible, particularly on the bottom corners, which is consistent with an EX (5) grade. The red border shows no obvious chipping or significant edge wear under sleeve glare, but the glare prevents a confident surface read. No creases are visible from this angle, consistent with the seller's EX claim. The photo is single-side front-only through a sleeve, so corner and edge condition cannot be fully confirmed; range is widened accordingly to account for hidden wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), placing L/R centering in the 3-4 range at best. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, most apparent at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with VG (3) handling wear. Surface: the red border shows chipping/wear consistent with this series, and there is noticeable gloss loss across the face; no crease is confirmed from this angle but the seller's VG self-assessment is plausible. Edges: appear reasonably intact but show light fraying; sleeve glare partially obscures the top-right corner and bottom-left, preventing a definitive corner assessment — a point estimate of 3 (VG) is most likely, with 4 possible if no crease exists on back and the obscured corners prove better than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L-R), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — both within NM-MT tolerance. Corner inspection at this resolution suggests mild wear on at least two corners (most visible at bottom-left and top-right), consistent with light rounding rather than sharp points, placing surface wear in the EX-MT to NM range. The red border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear, though the scan compression makes fine edge condition difficult to confirm definitively. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects; a grade of 6 (EX-MT) is the most defensible single estimate given the corner softness visible, with upside to 7 if corners are sharper than the scan reveals and downside to 5 if any edge or surface flaw is hidden.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60-65% right-heavy), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 top-heavy — this pushes toward NM-MT/NM territory at best on centering but does not reach miscut. Red borders on Series 2 are characteristically prone to chipping; the borders here appear reasonably intact with no obvious chipping or fraying visible, though fine edge wear cannot be ruled out at this resolution. Corners show slight softening — upper-left and lower-right appear the least sharp — consistent with light handling, placing the card in EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears present and largely unbroken with no visible creases or staining, though the scan resolution limits confident assessment of fine print defects or surface scratches. Seller's 'NM' claim is plausible but the left-right centering tilt and apparent corner softening argue for EX-MT (6) as the most likely grade, with NM (7) possible if corners are sharper than they appear.
