1977 Topps Star Wars #17 Lord Vader threatens Princess Leia!

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably good for the set. Blue border shows some visible chipping/wear along the edges, particularly noticeable along the left and bottom borders which is typical for this set but does affect grade. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate wear with slight rounding visible on at least two corners — not razor sharp but not severely rounded. Surface appears to have decent gloss retention though the sleeve and image resolution make it difficult to fully assess for scratches or print defects; no obvious creases are visible. The blue border chipping and corner condition point toward EX-MT (6) as the most likely grade, with NM (7) possible if corners and surface are better than they appear through the sleeve.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border wider than bottom (roughly 65/35 T-B), suggesting off-center condition. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars handling wear. Corners appear rounded, particularly the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting significant handling; at least two corners show visible rounding consistent with VG range. Surface shows some gloss loss and the image scan/photo quality limits full assessment of creases, but the overall structural wear pattern and corner rounding point toward a VG to VG-EX range (3-4); the degree of edge chipping and corner rounding makes a grade above 4 unlikely, and absent confirmed creases a grade below 2 is unlikely. Back is not visible, preventing crease confirmation.
