1977 Topps Star Wars #21 The Tusken Raiders — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably tight and not a significant grade detractor. The blue borders show some light chipping/wear consistent with this series, particularly visible along the left and top edges. Corners appear lightly worn with minor blunting visible on at least two corners, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears mostly intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond typical 1977 Topps Star Wars print grain. Back condition is unknown from this single-photo view, which limits confidence; a grade of 5–7 is supportable with the point estimate at 6 (EX-MT) aligning with the seller's self-assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60% left / 40% right L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The blue borders show significant chipping and white scuffing throughout all four edges, which is the most damaging visible defect — this alone would suppress the grade substantially on this notoriously chip-prone set. Corners appear rounded and softened; no corner is sharp from this viewing distance. Surface shows some general wear and the photo image itself has a slightly faded/washed quality consistent with light gloss loss. No obvious creases are visible in the image, but the back is unseen and edge/corner wear suggests handling; the card presents as a solid VG (3) with some possibility of VG-EX (4) if wear is less severe in hand, or GOOD (2) if hidden creasing exists.

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 within NM-MT range and not a meaningful grade detractor. The red borders show no obvious chipping visible from this distance. Corners appear to have light wear — the lower-left corner looks slightly soft/rounded under the ambient shadow, and the upper corners show minor blunting consistent with EX-MT to NM condition. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, scratches, or staining. The seller's 'Holographic Variant' claim is not a recognized variant for this set and should be disregarded — this appears to be a standard 1977 Topps Red Series card. Without corner closeups or a back scan, the range reflects uncertainty about corner rounding and edge wear typical of raw vintage Star Wars cards.
