1977 Topps Star Wars #221 Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable and not severely off. Corners cannot be fully inspected due to sleeve and image angle, but no obvious heavy rounding is visible from this view; corners appear slightly soft rather than sharp, consistent with light wear. The green border shows no dramatic chipping or heavy wear visible at this resolution, though the sleeve glare obscures the upper-left corner region. Surface appears to retain decent gloss with no visible creases, staining, or print defects noted. The sleeve prevents a definitive corner and edge assessment — a raw inspection out of sleeve could revise this estimate in either direction.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 grade. The green border shows no obvious chipping visible in this image, though the soft focus limits corner assessment; corners appear to have mild rounding consistent with light handling wear. Surface gloss looks moderately intact with no visible creases, though the image resolution and angle make definitive surface assessment difficult. Overall condition reads EX to EX-MT range pending closer corner and back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55-60% right-heavy), top border appears slightly wider than bottom, roughly 60/40 L-R and 55/45 T-B — acceptable but not tight. The green border shows no dramatic chipping visible at this resolution, though the bottom-left starburst area is difficult to assess cleanly. Corners cannot be evaluated with precision from this single photo; the upper-left and lower-left corners appear to have slight softening suggesting minor rounding consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears present but reduced, with no obvious creases visible. The card presents as a solid mid-grade raw example, likely EX (5) with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are sharper than they appear; VG-EX (4) is the floor if corner wear is more pronounced on reverse side.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 (slightly left-heavy), top/bottom roughly 55/45 — centering is acceptable but not tight. Surface wear is the dominant defect: heavy print snow/white spotting scattered across the entire image area, consistent with the card being stored without protection. Corner wear is visible at all four corners with rounding evident, particularly at top-left and bottom-right, suggesting VG to VG-EX corner condition. Edge wear appears moderate with chipping consistent with the green Topps border. The seller's own note flags 'corner and edge wear // surface wear,' which aligns with what is visible — no crease is confirmed from this photo but cannot be ruled out on the reverse. Overall the surface degradation from print snow and corner rounding place this squarely in the PSA 3 (VG) range, with PSA 4 possible if the back is clean and no crease is present.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with EX-MT range. The green borders show some chipping/wear along the left edge and top-left corner area, which is typical for this series but does indicate measurable wear. Corners appear lightly rounded — not sharp mint corners, but not severely blunted either; consistent with EX to EX-MT. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, though the slight photo angle limits full assessment of surface wear. Seller's 'EX/EX-MT' self-assessment appears honest; a PSA 5-6 range is the most defensible estimate from this single front image, with the point estimate at 6 pending inspection of corners and back.
