1977 Topps Star Wars #132 Lord Vader and a soldier

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 (slightly right-heavy) and top/bottom approximately 55/45 — within NM-MT tolerance on both axes. The red border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for a Series 2 card. Corners appear to have light wear with slight blunting evident, particularly on the lower-left and upper-right corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, though fine surface wear and any back condition cannot be assessed from this single photo. Range widened slightly to account for the card stand partially obscuring the bottom edge and the inability to assess corner tips at full resolution.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring the left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — a noticeable but not catastrophic horizontal shift. All four corners show visible rounding/wear, with the upper-left corner appearing the most worn; no corner is sharp enough to suggest EX-MT or better. The red border shows some edge chipping/wear consistent with typical Star Wars series handling, particularly on the right edge. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some loss visible, no creases are evident in this image, but the back is unseen and could reveal additional defects. The seller's 'EX/EX-MT' claim seems optimistic given the corner wear; EX (PSA 5) is the most likely outcome, with VG-EX (4) possible if corners are more rounded than they appear, and EX-MT (6) only if this photo is flattering the corners.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The red border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with heavy handling. Corners appear rounded at all four points, especially the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting significant use. Surface gloss appears diminished with what looks like light soiling or scuffing on the photo area; no crease is definitively confirmed from this angle but the wear pattern and card texture suggest possible surface creasing. The angle and carpet background limit precise corner and edge assessment, widening the range.
