1977 Topps Star Wars #262 Creature of Tatooine

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55L/45R), top border appears marginally wider than bottom (~55T/45T) — centering is within acceptable NM-MT range horizontally but difficult to confirm precisely through the sleeve. The green border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for a Series 4 card. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate wear — at least two corners show slight blunting visible even through the sleeve glare, precluding a grade above 7. Surface gloss appears mostly present with no obvious creases detected. The plastic sleeve introduces enough glare and diffusion that fine corner and surface detail is obscured, warranting a widened range; a closer or better-lit image would narrow confidence significantly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 65-70/30-35 L/R), and top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55-60/40-45 T/B) — centering is off but within NM-to-EX-MT range. Corners cannot be assessed with high precision through the sleeve glare, but the two visible corners (bottom-left and bottom-right) appear to show slight softening consistent with light wear, suggesting EX-MT to NM territory. The green border shows no obvious chipping or heavy edge wear visible at this resolution. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, but the sleeve obscures fine detail and the scan resolution limits corner and edge assessment — a closer raw inspection could move this a full grade in either direction.

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 acceptable for NM range. The green borders show no obvious chipping or significant edge wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear reasonably sharp with possible very light wear on one or two corners that cannot be confirmed without a macro shot — consistent with a 7 NM range. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining. The single overhead photo prevents assessment of the back and close corner inspection, so the range is widened accordingly; a hidden soft corner or minor edge chip could push this toward a 6, while clean corners throughout would support an 8.
