1977 Topps Star Wars #125 Luke in disguise! — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left bias), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom — left/right approximately 65/35, top/bottom approximately 55/45, which would push centering toward the NM or lower range depending on actual measurement. The red border shows some edge chipping or wear visible even through the plastic, particularly along the left and bottom edges. Corner detail is largely obscured by the holder and hand, but what is visible at the top-left and top-right corners suggests some rounding or softening — consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss cannot be reliably assessed through the plastic casing and glare. The plastic holder significantly limits corner and edge inspection; a raw hand-examination could shift this estimate meaningfully in either direction.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 left-heavy L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so centering is off but not catastrophic. All four corners show visible rounding/wear — no sharp corners evident at this resolution, consistent with VG-EX to EX territory. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear; no obvious hard creases are visible in the photo but the image resolution is insufficient to rule out light surface creases entirely. Red border on the left edge shows some chipping/wear consistent with typical 1977 Star Wars handling. The overall presentation points to a 4 (VG-EX) as the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if the back and corners are cleaner than the front suggests.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: at this resolution all four corners show some rounding or softening; none appear razor-sharp, suggesting light-to-moderate wear consistent with EX range. Edges: the red border shows no obvious chipping or fraying visible from this photo, though the image resolution limits a confident call. Surface: gloss appears partially present with some light wear or handling haze; no creases are visible but cannot be ruled out on the reverse or at fold points outside the frame. Red-border series cards are somewhat more forgiving on chipping than blue, but corner rounding is the limiting factor here; range of 4–6 reflects uncertainty about corner and edge condition not fully resolvable from this single seller photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border noticeably tighter than bottom (~60/40 T/B, borderline). The seller note 'READ' in the title suggests a disclosed flaw — likely corner wear or crease — which I'm weighting seriously per grading discipline. The scan reveals visible corner wear at multiple corners, most notably bottom-left and top-right, with rounding consistent with a VG-EX (4) to EX (5) range. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, and the red border shows minor chipping/wear consistent with this series. The watermark obscures the lower-center surface detail, preventing full crease assessment; if a surface crease is present as hinted by the seller's caveat, grade could fall to 3.
