Index grading notes

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 top/bottom) - left-right centering is a concern pushing toward OC territory at higher grades. The green borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and top edges, consistent with typical Star Wars series handling. Corners appear to have mild-to-moderate rounding, most visibly at the lower-left and upper-right; no corner is razor sharp. Surface shows some print grain/texture typical of the error card print run, and there is minor gloss loss visible, but no obvious hard creases are detectable from this image. The card appears to grade in the EX to VG-EX range (4-6); the left-right centering and border chipping are the primary grade limiters, and the back is unseen which could further impact the grade.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 60/40 — moderate off-center but not severe enough to cap alone. Corners show visible rounding and wear on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left most evident), consistent with VG-EX to EX territory. The green border shows chipping and edge wear typical of this series, with the upper-left corner notably soft. Surface gloss appears partially intact but with some loss visible; no obvious creases are detectable from this photo though the back cannot be assessed. The seller's 'Golden Rod Error' notation refers to the infamous #207 C-3PO card printed without the normal gold coloring appearing more copper/standard — this is a known error variant but does not affect the grade; condition alone places this in the VG-EX (4) to EX (5) range, with corner wear pulling it toward the lower end.

Centering estimate: Left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 favoring top - centering is noticeably off but not catastrophically so, consistent with typical Series 4 Star Wars production variance. Green borders show visible chipping/wear on at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right appear rounded under the holder), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears diminished but not destroyed; some light soiling or print wear is suggested by the photo but cannot be confirmed through the Card Saver glare. The Card Saver holder significantly limits assessment of edge condition, corner sharpness, and surface creasing - the range is deliberately wide to account for hidden back condition and corner detail. This is the notable 'Golden Rod' error card which carries collector premium regardless of grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. Corners: all four corners show some rounding visible even at this distance, with the lower-left appearing the most worn; no sharp points remain, suggesting light-to-moderate corner wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: the green border shows some visible chipping/wear along the edges, particularly noticeable on the left edge; gloss appears partially present but reduced. No creases are visible from this angle, but the back is unseen and the card stand obscures the bottom edge slightly. The 'Golden Rod' error designation (C-3PO printed in gold/metallic tone rather than the standard version) is consistent with what is visible; this is a noted Series 5 error card with collector interest, but PSA grades the physical condition independently of error status.
