1977 Topps Star Wars #173 The stormtroopers

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65/35 L/R favoring left), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45; overall centering is off but not severely so. Corners: the two foreground corners (bottom-left, bottom-right) show visible rounding and light wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range; top corners are harder to assess at this scan resolution but appear similar. Surface: the yellow border shows scattered nicks and minor handling marks typical of this set; the image area appears to have reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though a back-side crease cannot be ruled out. Edges appear slightly rough but no major chips; print quality is typical for 1977 Topps Star Wars. No crease is self-disclosed or visible, supporting a ceiling around EX (5), with corner wear and centering pulling the floor to VG-EX (4).
