1977 Topps Star Wars #214 Luke and Leia shortly before the raid — Raw

Centering: left green border appears approximately 10-11% of card width, right border approximately 8-9%, suggesting near-centered left/right at roughly 55/45 to 60/40 — acceptable for NM or better; top border appears slightly wider than bottom at roughly 55/45 top/bottom, which is fine. Corners: the two visible corners (bottom-left and bottom-right) show no obvious rounding or fraying, appearing reasonably sharp, though the top corners are partially obscured by the photo angle and sleeve. Surface: gloss appears good with no obvious scratches or print defects visible; minor image scan grain is normal for the era and the photo. Edge quality looks clean on the visible right and bottom edges. The sleeve limits a definitive corner and edge read on all four sides, so the range is widened accordingly — this card presents cleanly as solid NM (7) with a real chance at NM-MT (8) if corners hold up on all four sides.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right, roughly 55/45 L/R; top border appears slightly tighter than bottom, approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is good but not perfect. The green border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear in the photo. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance but the image does not provide tight corner closeups, so minor softening on one or two corners cannot be ruled out — a common issue with this series. Surface gloss looks intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects noted; the photo image itself is well-exposed but lacks macro corner detail, widening the range. Given the visible condition and the known tendency of green-border Series 4 cards to show border chipping on closer inspection, NM (7) is the most likely grade, with NM-MT (8) possible if corners are crisper than they appear.
