1977 Topps Star Wars #212 A stormtrooper is blasted! — Raw

Centering estimate: left green border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM-7/NM-MT-8 range. Corners appear reasonably sharp with possible very minor blunting on the lower-left corner visible at this angle; upper corners look cleaner but are partially obscured by perspective. Surface gloss appears good with no obvious creases, scratches, or print defects visible; the image itself is clean and well-saturated. The green border shows no obvious chipping or significant edge wear from this view, though the left edge is somewhat obscured by the shooting angle — back condition, edge wear, and corner sharpness under close inspection cannot be fully assessed from this single photo, warranting a widened range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 7 but not pristine. The green border shows no obvious chipping along the edges visible in this scan. Corners appear reasonably intact with no dramatic rounding visible, though the resolution does not permit confident close-up corner assessment — they look slightly soft at best, consistent with light wear. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases, scratches, or print defects spotted. The overall presentation is clean and consistent with EX-MT to NM range (PSA 6–7), but corner and edge detail is not sharp enough in this single photo to push confidently above a 7 ceiling.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 favoring left, top/bottom appears roughly 60/40 favoring top — within NM-MT territory if accurate, but perspective distortion makes precise measurement unreliable. Green borders on Series 4 are notorious for chipping; under the available resolution the borders look reasonably intact but some minor edge roughness appears possible on the top-left and bottom edges. Corners are not clearly resolvable at this distance and angle — the top-left corner may show a slight ding but cannot be confirmed; no obvious blunting or rounding visible at card-level zoom. Surface shows expected vintage gloss with no creases or staining apparent, but the photo angle and resolution prevent confident assessment of print defects or fine surface wear. The seller claims MINT, but without a sharp, flat, well-lit scan this cannot be verified; range is widened accordingly to reflect genuine uncertainty across corners and edges.
