1977 Topps Star Wars #264 Star pilot Luke Skywalker! — Raw

A significant diagonal crease runs from approximately the upper-left quadrant down through the center of the card — this is the dominant defect and alone caps the grade at VG-3 or below. Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 and top/bottom roughly 60/40, so centering itself is acceptable and not an additional penalty. Corner condition is difficult to assess precisely through the sleeve but the upper corners show evidence of rounding consistent with moderate handling wear. The green border shows some chipping/edge wear typical of this series. Surface gloss is partially obscured by sleeve glare but the crease disrupts the surface plane visibly; if corners are more rounded than they appear and the crease is deep, this could fall to a 2.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — borderline acceptable for EX range but not clean enough for NM territory. The green border shows visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, a known weakness of this series. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no single corner looks sharp enough for NM-MT. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled, with no obvious creases visible from this scan though the image resolution limits confidence. The card is gradable and presents as a solid EX (5) candidate, with upside to EX-MT (6) if corners are crisper than they appear and downside to VG-EX (4) if closer inspection reveals a hidden crease or more severe corner wear.
