Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not extreme. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear along multiple edges, most notably the top-left and bottom-left corners which appear rounded and dinged. The upper-right corner also shows wear. Surface gloss appears significantly reduced with what looks like light scuffing or handling marks across the card face. The overall condition suggests a card that has been handled without protection — rounded corners, border chipping endemic to this blue-border series, and gloss loss collectively point to a VG (3) grade, with VG-EX (4) possible only if corners are slightly better than they appear and no creases are present on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so for this notoriously wandering set. The blue borders show no obvious heavy chipping visible at this resolution, which is the primary grade-killer for 1977 Star Wars. Corners appear to have light wear — no sharp points visible but no severe rounding either, suggesting EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears present but the sleeve and photo angle make it difficult to assess print defects, scratches, or gloss loss definitively. The wide range reflects genuine uncertainty from the single soft-sleeve photo with no corner closeups and slight angle distortion; back condition is completely unknown.
