1977 Topps Star Wars #177 Solo swings into action! — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders look roughly even (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a high-grade vintage call but not tight enough for PSA 8+. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear but a slight dullness to the surface sheen suggests modest gloss loss. Corners appear lightly worn — the upper-right and lower-right corners show the earliest signs of rounding visible at this resolution, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. No creases, staining, or print defects are visible in this photo, but the back is unseen and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed without macro shots. The card stand obstructs the bottom corners slightly, introducing uncertainty; widening the range to 5–7 is appropriate.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for the grade range but not tight enough for NM-MT+. Corners show light wear on at least the bottom-left and bottom-right; they are not sharp under inspection, suggesting rounding consistent with EX-MT to NM territory. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though the photo resolution limits a definitive call on print defects or fine scratches. The seller's 'NR MINT' claim appears optimistic; EX-MT (PSA 6) to NM (PSA 7) is the honest range, with the corner wear being the primary grade limiter.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears somewhat wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a mid-high grade but not tight enough for 8+. The perspective distortion in the photo makes precise centering assessment difficult. Corners appear reasonably sharp with minimal visible rounding but the angle prevents confident corner assessment — at best 1-2 corners may show light wear consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases visible; yellow borders on Series 3 are relatively forgiving compared to the blue Series 1 borders which chip prominently. The card appears to be a solid mid-grade raw example; without corner closeups and a flat scan the range cannot be tightened, and hidden edge or surface wear could pull this below a 6.
