💥1977 Topps Star Wars Series 3 Yellow #181 Peter Cushing as
Estimated grade: 6 (5–7) · MEDIUM confidence · asking $5.21

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 T/B — this is a meaningful left-heavy off-center condition consistent with the seller's 'OC' disclosure. Corners: the visible corners show some softening/rounding at the lower left and upper right under close inspection, consistent with light handling wear placing this in the EX-MT to NM range at best. Surface and gloss appear reasonably intact with no obvious creases or major print defects visible, and the yellow border shows no significant chipping. The sleeve glare obscures fine edge and corner detail, which is why the range is widened; the OC centering is the primary grade-limiter here, likely capping the grade around PSA 6 EX-MT with a possible push to 7 if corners are cleaner than they appear.

1977 TOPPS STAR WARS CARD #181 YELLOW SERIES HIGH GRADE MINT
Estimated grade: 7 (6–8) · MEDIUM confidence · asking $3.99

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders look reasonably even (~55/45 T/B) — within NM-MT range on both axes. Corners appear reasonably sharp with possibly very minor wear on one or two corners visible at this resolution, consistent with NM to NM-MT. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear. Surface shows what appears to be a few small print defects or light speckling in the photo area (common for this set), and gloss appears intact but is difficult to fully confirm from this angle. Back is not visible, and corner sharpness cannot be confirmed at high magnification, keeping the range wide at 6–8 with a 7 NM point estimate.
