1977 Topps Star Wars #186 The Jawas — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border appears noticeably larger than bottom (~60/40 top-to-bottom), placing centering in the NM-7 to NM-MT-8 range but not mint territory. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping or significant wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible on the two near corners, but the perspective angle obscures the far corners — range is widened accordingly. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or staining, and the photo image itself looks clean. Without corner closeups or a back view, a definitive grade is not possible; the card looks strong but the 'MINT+' seller claim appears optimistic given the centering drift.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but likely within EX-NM range on the horizontal axis; the angled photo prevents precise measurement. Corners are not cleanly resolved from this distance and angle — at least two corners (top-right and bottom-right) show possible rounding or soft wear but cannot be confirmed as sharp. Yellow borders on this series show no obvious chipping visible from this view, though the image resolution and angle obscure edge condition. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases discernible, but the photograph is taken from too great a distance and at too much of an angle to rule out light creases, surface wear, or print defects; the range is intentionally wide to reflect this uncertainty.
