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

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — left-to-right off-centering is the primary concern. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with this set's known border fragility. Corners appear rounded to lightly rounded — lower-left corner looks the most worn, consistent with a VG-EX (4) or EX (5) grade; no corner is sharp enough for NM territory. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled, with the soft photo making it difficult to rule out a light crease or surface scuff; seller's 'VGEX' self-assessment aligns with what is visible. No writing, staining, or major creases are detected, but the low-resolution image prevents confident surface assessment — a hidden crease could push this to a 3.

Centering: left border appears ~55-60% vs right ~40-45% horizontally — passable; top border reads noticeably wider than bottom, roughly 65/35 top-to-bottom, pushing into EX-MT territory on that axis alone. However, the blue borders show significant chipping and wear along all four edges, which is endemic to this issue but here is heavier than typical for grades above 4. All four corners appear rounded and show evident wear — no sharp corners visible even at this resolution, consistent with a VG (3) to VG-EX (4) specimen. Surface shows some gloss loss and the overall card stock looks dinged with minor handling marks. No visible creases in the photo, but the degree of corner and border wear strongly suggests a grade in the 3–4 range; back cannot be assessed and a crease there would push toward 2.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders look relatively even (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so for this issue. The blue borders show significant chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with the well-known fragility of this series. Corner wear is visible at all four corners, with rounding evident — at least two corners show moderate-to-heavy rounding. Surface gloss appears diminished with light surface wear visible, and there is some soiling or handling marks on the blue border. No crease is conclusively visible from this single-image view, but the overall wear profile suggests a VG (3) grade with the range allowing for a possible light crease not visible at this resolution (floor 2) or slightly better-than-expected surface upon closer inspection (ceiling 4).

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R); top and bottom borders look roughly even (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The blue border shows clear chipping and wear consistent with heavy handling, particularly visible along the left and top edges. All four corners appear rounded and show evident wear — at least two corners look significantly soft, consistent with VG to VG-EX range at best. Surface shows visible scuffs and loss of gloss across the image area, with what appears to be scratching or abrasion in the upper image field; no definitive crease is confirmed from this angle but surface distress is substantial. The photo angle and moderate resolution prevent confident corner and crease assessment, so the range is widened accordingly — this card grades most likely PSA 3 VG.

Centering estimate: left blue border appears noticeably wider than right (~60-65% left, 35-40% right); top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with PSA 6-7 range on this issue. Corners cannot be assessed with high confidence from this scan resolution; they appear intact without obvious rounding but the image softness prevents a clean read. The blue border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this notoriously fragile issue. Surface gloss appears present but cannot confirm absence of print snow, scratches, or handling wear; the scan quality introduces too much uncertainty to push above 7 or confirm a floor above 5.
