1977 Topps Star Wars #195 Alec Guinness as Ben Kenobi — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40 — acceptable; top/bottom appears tighter on top, roughly 65/35, slightly off but not severe. Yellow border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with light-to-moderate handling. Corners appear rounded but not severely so — upper corners look slightly better than lower, with the lower-left showing the most wear; consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and the image appears slightly soft/grainy which is typical for this series' print stock. No creases are clearly visible from this angle, though a slight surface scuff cannot be ruled out; the seller's 'VG-EX' self-assessment aligns with what the photo supports, placing the estimate comfortably at PSA 4 with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top) — centering is moderate, roughly 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, acceptable for a mid-grade. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding/softening, particularly the bottom corners which appear more worn; no razor sharpness survives, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: the yellow border shows no obvious chips or major scuffs visible at this resolution, gloss appears moderately retained but some dulling is evident; no creases are visible on the face, which keeps this out of VG territory. Edges appear reasonably intact without severe fraying, but the overall corner wear and border condition suggest a PSA 4-5 range with 5 (EX) as the most likely outcome if no hidden reverse defects are present.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 left-heavy, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — centering is passable but not the primary concern here. Surface damage is severe: extensive paper loss or surface peeling visible across the lower-left quadrant of the image area, with significant white scuffing/abrasion across the central portion of the photo. Corners appear heavily rounded, consistent with a VG or lower card. The yellow border shows chipping and wear along all edges. Given the substantial surface damage, paper loss, and corner rounding, this card falls solidly in the Good to VG range (PSA 2-3), with the heavy surface abrasion potentially pulling it toward a 1-2.
