1977 Topps Star Wars #259 Challenging the evil Empire! — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears moderately narrower than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — acceptable for the set but not tight enough for 8+. The green borders show no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this series. Corners appear lightly worn — upper left and lower right show the most rounding, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no razor-sharp corners evident, ruling out 8. Surface gloss appears decent with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, though the photo does not allow close corner inspection. Back is not visible, and without corner macro shots the range is widened; a light surface wear or edge nick not resolvable at this distance could push the grade down toward 5.
