1977 Topps Star Wars #22 Rescued by Ben Kenobi — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border is slightly wider than bottom — off-center but not catastrophically so, consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars wandering centering. Blue border shows visible chipping/wear along multiple edges, most notably the left and bottom edges where the blue shows surface scuffing and wear consistent with handling. Corners appear rounded to lightly blunted — upper-left and lower-right corners look the softest, suggesting EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light soiling/toning, though no obvious creases are visible in this photo; the image angle and resolution prevent confident assessment of surface creases or print defects. Overall condition evidence points to a VG-EX (4) most likely, with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the back or surface.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably good for this notoriously wandering set. Blue borders show minor chipping/wear consistent with normal handling, most visibly at the corners; corners appear to have very slight softening but no obvious rounding — consistent with NM to NM-MT range. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining. The blue border chips are the primary grade-limiting factor here, as this is the chief vulnerability of 1977 Topps Star Wars; without a back view or corner macro shots, a range of 6–8 is appropriate, with 7 NM being the most likely single grade given the corner and edge wear visible on the blue borders.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 65/35 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — acceptable for the sticker series but slightly off. The red border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear lightly worn — two corners show minor softening consistent with EX-MT range, no sharp points visible under the sleeve glare. Surface gloss appears largely intact with good color saturation on the space battle image; no creases or staining are apparent. The plastic sleeve introduces some glare that obscures fine corner and edge detail, preventing a more precise call — range widened accordingly.

This is a 1977 Topps Star Wars sticker #22 with the characteristic red border. Centering estimate: left border ~35%, right border ~65% left-to-right, top ~45%, bottom ~55% — moderate off-centering but not catastrophic for this issue. The red border shows visible chipping/wear along the right edge and lower-right corner area; corners appear rounded rather than sharp, consistent with a VG to VG-EX grade. Surface gloss appears partially intact but there is noticeable wear and possible light surface scuffing visible in the scan; no obvious hard crease is visible from this photo though the seller's VG designation suggests some wear is present. The photo resolution and slight glare prevent confident assessment of corner sharpness and fine surface detail, warranting a widened range.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 (heavy left bias), top/bottom roughly 60/40 — off-center but not miscut. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably at the top-left and top-right corners where the blue has chipped away revealing white stock underneath — classic 1977 Topps Star Wars blue border degradation. Corners appear rounded rather than sharp, consistent with a VG (3) grade. Surface gloss appears reduced though no obvious creases are visible from this photo; the image itself is reasonably clean. Overall condition points to a PSA 3 (VG) with rounded corners and border chipping being the primary grade-limiting factors, with a 4 possible if corners are slightly better than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60% of right border width), top border slightly narrower than bottom — rough L/R ~65/35, T/B ~55/45, suggesting off-center but not severe miscut territory. Blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with this series' known fragility. Corners appear rounded with some degree of fraying — likely corner rounding consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears reduced but no obvious hard creases are detectable at this resolution; a crease cannot be ruled out in the lower portion of the card near Luke's figure. The single overhead photo at moderate distance prevents confident corner and surface evaluation, widening the range; back is unseen.
