1977 Topps Star Wars #166 A close call for Luke and Princess Leia! — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 to 65/35 favoring the left; top/bottom appears roughly 60/40 favoring the top — acceptable for NM range but not tight enough for Mint. Corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution with no obvious rounding visible on the upper corners, though the lower corners are slightly harder to assess due to card angle and slight perspective distortion. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping or major wear, and surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining. The back is not visible, which could hide print defects or wear; range is widened accordingly to account for unseen reverse condition.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — within NM-MT range horizontally but pushing EX-MT vertically; no miscut detected. Corners appear to have light rounding on at least two corners (most visible on bottom-left and bottom-right), consistent with EX-MT to EX range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though the scan resolution makes it difficult to detect fine surface wear or print defects with certainty. Edges look clean with no major chipping of the yellow border visible, though the bottom edge warrants closer inspection; given the corner softness this card most likely grades in the EX to EX-MT range (5–6), with NM possible if corners sharpen under closer examination.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom — roughly 65/35 left-right and 60/40 top-bottom, which lands in NM-MT to NM centering territory but is pushing toward the limit. Yellow border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear visible at this resolution. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to sleeve glare at bottom-left, but the visible corners (top-right especially) appear to have only light wear without obvious rounding — consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining. The photo resolution limits confident corner and edge assessment; a true grade swing of 5–7 is honest given the single soft image.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~65/35 left-right), top border slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is workable but left-right drift is meaningful. The yellow borders show no obvious heavy chipping visible at this resolution, but the image quality and sleeve glare prevent confident corner assessment; corners appear to have some light rounding consistent with handling but no severe blunting is apparent. Surface gloss looks moderate with no obvious creases visible, though the darker scene photography masks subtle print wear. Cannot confirm edge condition or back; single front photo with glare caps confidence significantly — a range of EX to NM is honest here.
