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

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~65-70% right-heavy), top border appears slightly larger than bottom — roughly 70/30 L/R and 60/40 T/B, which would cap centering at the EX-MT range at best. The card shows visible wear and waviness/bowing along the top edge consistent with aging or handling. Corner assessment is hampered by the angle and image resolution — corners appear softened rather than sharp, suggesting rounding consistent with VG-EX to EX range. The yellow/green borders show some edge chipping or fraying, particularly visible on the left side. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled, with possible light creasing or surface stress lines that cannot be confirmed definitively at this resolution. The photo angle and moderate focus prevent confident corner and edge assessment; the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left red border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right, top border slightly thicker than bottom — approximate L/R ~55/45 to 60/40, T/B ~55/45, within NM range. Corners appear mostly sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the bottom-left and bottom-right corners show very slight softening that could indicate minor wear. The red border shows no obvious chipping or fraying along edges. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects, though the image resolution limits corner and edge micro-inspection. Back is not visible so no crease, stain, or print defect confirmation is possible; the range is widened accordingly to account for hidden flaws.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right, roughly 55/45 L/R; top border appears narrower than bottom, approximately 60/40 T/B — centering is acceptable for NM territory. All four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious blunting or rounding visible at this resolution, though the bottom-left corner behind the starburst graphic is obscured. The red border shows no obvious chipping along the edges, and surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or surface breaks. The image quality is good but corner closeups are absent, preventing a definitive call between PSA 7 and 8; the slight left-right centering lean and inability to fully inspect corners keeps the ceiling at 8.
