1977 Topps Star Wars #180 Princess Leia honors the victors — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is within EX-MT to NM range and not a grade-capper. The photo is taken at a mild angle which compresses the left edge slightly, so true centering may be marginally better. Corner sharpness is difficult to assess precisely at this distance; the visible corners show no obvious rounding or heavy wear but lack the razor-sharp definition needed for NM or above — consistent with light to moderate handling wear typical of a well-kept raw 1977 Topps. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, scratches, or print defects, and the yellow border shows no obvious chipping or edge wear under this photograph. Back is not visible, and corner closeups are unavailable, which widens the range; a raw example presenting this cleanly could grade anywhere from PSA 5 to 7 depending on corner and edge condition under loupe.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 or 65/35 favoring left, top/bottom appears roughly 55/45 — centering is acceptable but not tight. The yellow border shows visible chipping/wear along the top edge and slight fraying is suggested at corners, consistent with at least light rounding on one or more corners. Surface shows what appears to be a small crease or surface scratch in the upper-left quadrant of the photo area, though sleeve glare makes it difficult to confirm definitively. Gloss appears present but reduced, suggesting moderate handling. The sleeve and stand angle obscure corner detail on the bottom-left and top-right, widening the range; a back inspection and corner macro shots would be needed to confirm above EX (5).

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 L-favored; top/bottom borders approximately 55/45 T-favored — both within NM-MT tolerance. Corners: all four appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution; the bottom-left corner near the starburst logo shows a very slight soft suggestion but is not clearly blunted. Edges: the yellow border shows no obvious chipping or fraying, though the characteristic 1977 Topps yellow border is less prone to chipping than the blue series. Surface: full gloss apparent, no visible creases, print defects, or staining; slight scan grain makes it impossible to confirm absolute surface cleanliness or micro-wear on corners. The range is widened downward to 6 because corner condition and edge integrity cannot be fully confirmed at this image resolution without closeups.
