1977 Topps Star Wars #11 Artoo is imprisoned by the Jawas — Raw

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 vintage and not a major grade killer. The blue borders show visible chipping/wear on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right appear lightly rounded with some border chip evident, consistent with EX range), and the top corners show mild wear as well. Surface gloss appears partially intact but the sleeve glare and image resolution prevent confident assessment of print defects or surface scratches. No creases are visible in this photo, and the card appears structurally sound. The seller's EX designation aligns reasonably with what is visible; the grade range of 4–6 reflects uncertainty about corner wear severity and any hidden surface issues not resolvable through the sleeve.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 60/40 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but within NM-MT/NM range and not extreme. Blue borders show some visible chipping or wear along the edges, particularly notable on the left and bottom edges which is typical of this issue but does reduce grade. Corners appear to have light rounding — not razor-sharp but not heavily blunted either, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears present but the scan quality limits confident assessment of print defects or surface scratches; no visible creases are detected. The card photographs as a solid mid-grade raw copy; the seller's NM claim seems optimistic given border chipping — EX-MT (PSA 6) is the most defensible single estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), and top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not extreme enough to suggest miscut. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right appear rounded under the sleeve), consistent with typical 1977 Star Wars blue-border handling wear. Surface gloss appears partially intact but difficult to confirm through sleeve glare. No creases are visible from this view, but the sleeve obscures fine edge and corner detail that would be decisive between EX (5) and EX-MT (6); the visible corner rounding tips the point estimate toward a 5.
