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

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 favoring top — within EX-MT range horizontally but wandering; no miscut visible. Corners: the top-left corner shows slight wear/blunting visible even at this resolution; top-right and bottom corners appear moderately worn with light rounding consistent with EX to EX-MT. Edges: the green border shows some chipping/fraying on the left edge, which is typical for this series but notable enough to push toward the lower end of the range. Surface: gloss appears mostly intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects; the photo image itself is clean and well-centered within the card frame. Overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) with condition limited primarily by corner and edge wear on the green border; EX-MT (6) is reachable if corners are sharper than they appear at this angle.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border notably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B, slightly top-heavy) — centering is within NM-MT tolerances but not tight enough for Mint. Corners: at this resolution the four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible, though the bottom-left corner near the starburst is partially obscured by the logo graphic making full assessment difficult. Surface and gloss: the green border shows no obvious chipping or wear and the photo area retains apparent gloss with no visible scratches or print defects noted. Edges appear clean and straight with no visible nicks; however, without corner macro shots or a back view, hidden wear cannot be ruled out, warranting a conservative range of 6–8 with NM (7) as the most likely grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. The green border shows visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with the known fragility of this series. Corners appear rounded at two or more corners (notably bottom-left and top-left), suggesting moderate handling wear placing this in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light scratching or print aging visible through the scan, but no obvious hard crease is confirmed from this single photo — back is unseen. Without corner closeups or the reverse, range is widened; a hidden crease or heavier corner rounding could push this to VG (3).
