1977 Topps Star Wars #173 The stormtroopers — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is respectable but not tight enough for PSA 9. Corners: the two visible bottom corners look reasonably sharp with only minimal softening; the top corners are harder to assess at this resolution but show no obvious rounding or fraying. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks or chipping on the yellow border, which is the most vulnerable area on this series. Surface gloss looks present and intact with no obvious creasing, staining, or print defects visible, though fine surface wear cannot be ruled out from a single seller photo. A grade of 7 NM feels most likely; if corners hold up sharply under close inspection an 8 NM-MT is plausible, but a 6 EX-MT floor is retained due to the limitations of a single non-closeup image.
