1977 Topps Star Wars #165 Escaping from stormtroopers! — Raw

Centering: left border appears notably wider than right (estimated ~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 T/B — centering is off but within NM-MT or NM range horizontally. Corners: the visible corners show some softening/light wear, particularly the bottom-left and bottom-right corners which appear slightly rounded rather than sharp — consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface: the yellow border shows some light chipping/wear typical of this series, and there is minor surface texture visible but no obvious creases detected. Edges appear reasonably clean with no severe nicks visible; card back is not shown, limiting confidence — range widened accordingly to account for hidden flaws.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders look moderately even (~55/45 T-B), so horizontal centering is a concern but not catastrophic. The upper-left corner shows visible creasing/surface wrinkling — the card surface appears disturbed there — and the yellow border shows chipping and wear consistent with heavy handling. The photo surface has a matte/wrinkled quality suggesting gloss loss across much of the face, and there is evident edge wear. Corners appear rounded at multiple points, placing this firmly in the VG-to-VG-EX range at best; the apparent surface crease/wrinkling on the upper left pushes the estimate toward PSA 3 VG as the most likely grade.
