1977 Topps Star Wars #122 The Millennium Falcon speeds through space! — Raw

Centering (left/right): left red border appears noticeably wider than right, estimating roughly 65/35 or worse; top/bottom appears moderately off as well, top border wider, perhaps 60/40 — centering alone would not cap the grade but compounds other issues. All four corners show visible rounding and wear consistent with heavy handling, particularly the lower-left and upper-right corners which appear soft and blunted. The red border shows chipping and wear along edges, typical of this series but here more pronounced than minor. Surface presents with some gloss loss and what appear to be light handling marks or possible shallow crease lines in the upper-left quadrant, though the sleeve haze makes it difficult to confirm a hard crease with certainty — the seller's 'VG' self-description is consistent with what is visible. Taken together, rounded corners, border wear, and likely surface issues place this squarely in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the surface is cleaner than it appears through the sleeve.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L-R acceptable), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T-B, leaning toward top-heavy), so centering is workable but not tight. The red border shows visible chipping/wear along the top-left and bottom-left corners — corner rounding is present on at least two corners, consistent with EX (5) range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but photo angle limits full assessment; no creases are visible but the image resolution isn't sharp enough to rule out light surface wear. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious tears or staining; the seller's 'EX' self-description aligns with the visual evidence, suggesting a PSA 5 is the most likely outcome, with 4 possible if corner wear is more pronounced under direct inspection.

Centering estimate: left red border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border modestly wider than bottom (~55% top) — centering is acceptable, roughly 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, not an OC concern. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear lightly rounded with no sharp points visible; this is consistent with EX (5) condition — no razor tips but no severe blunting either. The red border shows no dramatic chipping but some light edge wear is visible along the left side. Surface gloss appears present but slightly muted, with no obvious creases visible in the image. The seller's 'EX' self-description aligns with the visual evidence; a PSA 5 EX is the most likely outcome, with 4 VG-EX possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than the scan reveals, and 6 EX-MT possible if corners are cleaner than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left red border appears noticeably wider than right (~60-65% left vs 35-40% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — off-center left-to-right but not severely so, consistent with EX-range. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding/wear under inspection, particularly the bottom-left and top-right, which are the most exposed; no sharp points are present, pushing this below NM territory. Surface: image area appears relatively clean with decent residual gloss, no obvious creases or staining visible from this photo angle, though the fair image quality limits confidence. Edges: appear intact without major chipping of the red border, though the left edge is partially obscured by glare/sleeve shadow — a crease cannot be fully ruled out. The seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with this estimate; overall most consistent with PSA 5 EX, with some chance of 4 or 6 depending on corner and surface details not fully resolvable here.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border notably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with EX-MT range. Corners appear to have light rounding visible at all four tips, nothing dramatically bent or creased, suggesting mid-grade wear rather than NM territory. Surface gloss looks reasonably intact under the sleeve with no obvious creases or staining visible in the image area. The sleeve introduces some glare that partially obscures fine corner and edge detail, widening the range; a closer inspection of the corners could push this up to a 7 or confirm it as a 5-6.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 60-65% left vs. 35-40% right L/R), and top border is slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B), placing centering in the EX to EX-MT range at best. The red border on this series is prone to chipping and the edges appear reasonably intact but show minor wear consistent with handling. Corners cannot be assessed with high precision due to resolution and sleeve glare, but no sharp corners are evident — rounding consistent with a PSA 5 EX grade appears likely; the lower-left and upper-right corners look slightly more worn. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases visible, which is consistent with the seller's 'EX' self-assessment; however, the photo cannot rule out light surface wear or a soft crease on the back.

Centering estimate: left red border appears noticeably wider than right (~60-65% left, 35-40% right); top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — left-heavy horizontal centering is the primary concern, consistent with a series-5 red card known for wandering registration. Corners: the top-loader obscures the corners almost entirely; the top-left corner appears to show some rounding or wear but cannot be confirmed. Surface: there is visible wear/handling on the lower-left quadrant of the red border (possible chipping consistent with the red series), and some gloss loss is suggested in the mid-card area, though the plastic sleeve glare makes a definitive call impossible. No creases are visible, but the bottom border shows faint edge roughness; a grade range of 4–6 (EX-VG-EX) is offered with low confidence pending corner and back examination.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right by a noticeable margin (~60/40 L-R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 T-B); centering is acceptable for NM range but not tight enough for MINT. All four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the sleeve glare obscures the lower-left and upper-right corners making definitive corner assessment difficult. The red border shows no obvious chipping or significant wear. Surface gloss appears strong with no visible creases, staining, or print defects. The poly sleeve limits full corner and edge inspection; a closer corner shot could move this up toward an 8 or confirm wear that would hold it at 6-7.

Centering: left red border reads approximately 5mm, right approximately 4mm (L/R ~55/45); top border approximately 5mm, bottom approximately 6mm (T/B ~45/55) — centering appears solid, within NM-MT tolerances. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible, though the scan compresses fine corner detail. Surface: gloss appears intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects; the dark space image makes it difficult to detect light surface scratches. Red borders on Series 2 are less prone to chipping than the blue Series 1 borders, and no edge chipping is apparent here. The image quality and angle prevent confident corner and edge micro-assessment, widening the range; a grade of 7 NM is the most defensible single estimate pending back inspection and corner examination under light.
