1977 Topps Star Wars #2 See-Threepio and Artoo-Detoo — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom appears roughly 55/45 favoring top — acceptable for the set but not tight. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, which is a known vulnerability of this set and is the primary grade-limiting factor here. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate wear with at least 1-2 corners showing slight blunting visible even at this distance, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or major print defects visible, though the card stand obscures the lower portion preventing full assessment of the bottom border chips and lower corners. Given the blue border chipping and corner wear, a PSA 6 (EX-MT) is the most likely outcome, with 7 (NM) possible if corners prove cleaner under direct inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably good for this notoriously wandering set. The blue borders show light chipping/wear at the corners, particularly visible at the lower-left and lower-right corners where slight rounding and minor color loss are apparent, consistent with an EX-MT (6) to NM (7) range. Surface gloss appears largely intact with no obvious creases visible, and the image presents cleanly. The card cannot be ruled above a 7 without corner closeups and back inspection; the blue border chipping typical of this set is the primary grade limiter here, pulling the ceiling down from NM-MT territory.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — left-to-right misalignment is the primary centering concern. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear along multiple edges, particularly the left and top edges where the blue stock has clearly worn through to white. All four corners appear rounded with visible wear — at least two corners (top-left and bottom-left) show definite rounding consistent with a VG or lower grade. Surface shows some loss of gloss and the photo image appears slightly soft/worn. No creases are definitively confirmed from this angle, but the overall wear pattern (corner rounding, border chipping, centering off) places this card solidly in the VG to VG-EX range; the shadow and angle prevent full confidence on crease absence, hence the range extends down to 2.
