1977 Topps Star Wars #148 The fearsome stormtroopers! — Raw

Centering estimate: left border ~9mm, right border ~7mm (approx 56/44 L/R); top border ~6mm, bottom border ~9mm (approx 40/60 T/B) — centering is acceptable, no miscut evident. The yellow borders appear reasonably intact without obvious chipping typical of this series, though the scan resolution makes fine edge wear difficult to confirm. Corners appear to show light rounding, particularly at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no sharp razor corners visible. Surface gloss appears present but slightly subdued, with no visible creases or major print defects; some faint print noise is possible but not confirmed. Back condition is unknown, which widens the range — a clean back could support a 7, while any hidden crease or staining would push toward a 5.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40 favoring left; top/bottom appears approximately 60/40 favoring top — acceptable for the set but not tight. All four corners show light to moderate rounding visible at this resolution, with the bottom-left corner appearing the softest; no sharp razor corners present, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Yellow border shows no obvious chipping or significant edge wear but some minor handling is suggested by the corner condition. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no visible creases or staining, though the scan compression makes it difficult to fully assess fine print defects or subtle surface wear; back is not visible.
