1977 Topps Star Wars #126 A quizzical Threepio! — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — acceptable for vintage Star Wars but not tight. The red borders show no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this notoriously chip-prone series. Corners appear reasonably sharp with possible very light wear on one or two corners (particularly the lower-left), consistent with a 7 NM range; no rounding obvious but closeup corner shots would be needed to confirm 8 territory. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects noted. The back is unseen and corner condition cannot be fully confirmed from this single angled photo, so the range is widened accordingly; the seller's 'high grade' claim is plausible but unverified.

Centering estimate: left red border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left / 40-45% right), top and bottom borders look reasonably balanced at roughly 55/45 top/bottom — centering appears acceptable for a PSA 7-8 range. The red borders show no obvious chipping or major edge wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear to have light wear — they look slightly soft rather than razor-sharp, consistent with a NM grade rather than NM-MT. Surface shows some print texture typical of the 1977 Topps Star Wars issue but no visible creases or major scratches. The oblique angle and sleeve glare obscure fine corner and edge detail, so the range is widened accordingly; a closer straight-on shot could push this up to 8 or down to 6 depending on corner sharpness.
