1977 Topps Star Wars #207 C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top) — centering looks roughly acceptable at approximately 60/40 L/R and 58/42 T/B, which would not cap the grade on its own. However, the screw-down holder and moderate surface glare prevent reliable corner and surface assessment. The green border — which chips and shows wear readily on this series — appears intact at the visible edges but cannot be fully confirmed. Corners appear to show some mild rounding or softening from what is visible, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. No creases or major surface defects are visible, but the glare conceals the upper-left quadrant of the image area. Given the obscured view, the range is widened considerably; a collector should remove the card from the holder for a proper pre-submission assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly thinner than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), so centering is serviceable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-right are most apparent), consistent with moderate handling wear. The green border shows some chipping/wear along the edges, particularly on the upper-left corner area, which is typical of this series but still grade-relevant. Surface gloss appears partially present but with noticeable dullness suggesting light wear; no creases are definitively visible from this photo though the scan resolution makes a definitive crease call difficult, so the back remains unseen. Overall condition points to a VG-EX (4) range with some uncertainty — could slip to VG (3) if back shows a crease or rise to EX (5) if corners are better than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) - centering is off but not catastrophic. The green borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with typical Series 4 handling wear. Corners appear rounded at all four points, most noticeably at the lower-left and upper-left, suggesting moderate wear in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but with some dulling visible, and no obvious creases are detectable from this photo though the back is unseen. The card sits solidly in the 4-5 range; corner rounding and border wear push it toward the lower end, but the absence of visible creases and relatively intact surface prevent a grade below 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — within acceptable vintage range but not tight. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the sleeve/case glare, but no obvious heavy rounding or blunting is visible at normal zoom; they appear to have light to moderate wear consistent with a mid-grade card. The green border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear visible from this distance, though the sleeve glare obscures fine detail along the edges. Surface gloss appears present and image is clean with no visible creases, but the protective covering prevents confident assessment of print defects, surface scratches, or subtle corner wear — range is intentionally wide to account for hidden information.
