1977 Topps Star Wars #118 R2-D2 and C-3PO — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — within serviceable range for the series but not tight. Corners: all four show visible wear and rounding, most notably the bottom-left and top-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear moderately clean with no obvious chipping of the red border visible at this resolution, though the red series is less prone to the chipping concern of the blue series. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light handling marks but no obvious creases are visible from this single front image; the seller title discloses no crease. The photo angle and sleeve make fine surface and corner assessment difficult, widening the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (roughly 55/45 L-R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (approximately 65/35 T-B), which is acceptable for this notoriously off-center series. Corners appear to show light wear at two or three tips — not sharp enough for NM-MT but not significantly rounded either, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. The red border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear visible at this resolution. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no creases or staining detected, though the photo angle and possible sleeve make definitive surface assessment difficult; a back inspection would be needed to confirm no hidden creases.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable and not a major grade penalty. The red border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is encouraging for this series. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding on at least the bottom corners visible in the scan, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; the top corners are harder to assess but show no dramatic rounding. Surface gloss appears present with no visible creases, though the scan resolution limits definitive assessment of fine print defects or edge wear. Overall impression is a mid-grade raw card in the EX-MT neighborhood, pending a closer look at corners and back.
