1977 Topps Star Wars #16 Jawas of Tatooine — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders look relatively even at approximately 55/45 — centering is off but not severely so. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably the right and bottom edges where the blue has worn to white — consistent with this set's known border fragility. Corners appear rounded on at least two visible corners (top-right and bottom-right), suggesting VG-EX to EX territory at best. The surface shows some gloss loss but no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo; however, the seller's title does not self-disclose a crease. The sleeve glare limits full assessment of surface scratches and finer corner detail, widening the range; the blue border chipping is the primary grade-killer here, pushing the estimate toward VG-EX (4).

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so, likely within 70/30 range. Blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with typical handling wear on this issue. Corners appear rounded, particularly the lower-left and upper-left, suggesting moderate wear in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled; no creases are clearly visible in this resolution though the glare obscures the center field. The blue border edge wear and corner rounding point most likely to a PSA 4 (VG-EX), with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly sharper than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is passable for the grade range but not tight. Blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably on the bottom-left and top-left corners, which appear to have moderate rounding rather than sharp points. The bottom-right corner also shows rounding. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled, consistent with handling wear and some gloss loss. No obvious creases are visible from this photo, though the seller's '[C]' notation may indicate a crease not fully visible at this angle — if a crease is present it would push the grade toward 3. Without confirmed crease the card sits in the VG-EX to EX range; if the '[C]' denotes a crease, est_point drops to 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders look moderately uneven (~60/40 T/B favoring top) — centering is off but not severely miscut. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with typical handling on this series. Corners appear rounded to lightly blunted at all four points — no sharp corners are evident, suggesting use and age-related wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some scratching/scuffing visible across the image area and there is noticeable gloss loss; no obvious hard crease is visible from this angle but the image resolution and angle cannot rule out a light surface crease. The overall presentation lands most likely in the VG-EX (4) range, with EX (5) possible if corners and surface are cleaner than they appear, and VG (3) possible if closer inspection reveals a crease or more significant corner rounding.

Centering estimate: left border notably narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~50/50 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so for this issue. Blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with this set's known fragility. Corner rounding is apparent on at least two corners visible (upper-left and lower-left show softening), consistent with a VG-EX range; no corner is sharp enough for EX-MT or better. Surface appears to have moderate gloss loss and some light soiling or handling marks on the image area, though no obvious hard crease is visible from this scan. The seller's self-description of 'VGEX+' aligns with the PSA 4–5 range; the blue border chipping and corner wear push the estimate toward 4 rather than 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 7 candidate but not perfect. Blue border shows minor chipping/wear particularly visible along the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical 1977 Star Wars blue-border stock fragility. Corners appear lightly worn with minor rounding visible on at least two corners (bottom-left most evident), suggesting EX-MT range rather than NM. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases or staining, and no print defects beyond normal vintage print snow. Back is unavailable, and corner wear is difficult to assess precisely at this resolution — the range is widened accordingly; a point grade of 6 (EX-MT) reflects the visible corner wear and edge chipping.
