1977 Topps Star Wars #265 Anxious moments for the Rebels

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R); top border appears modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. Corners appear reasonably sharp with only light wear visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM range, though resolution limits close corner inspection. The orange border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear along the edges. Surface gloss appears decent with no visible creases or staining, but the seller's self-disclosed 'hg6' grade is taken as a guide; without corner macro shots and back inspection, the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is passable for a 7 or better but hard to confirm precisely. Orange border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this series. Corners cannot be assessed with confidence due to the oblique angle and sleeve glare, though no gross rounding or creasing is apparent at card center. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, but the image quality and angle prevent confident corner-by-corner assessment — a wider range of 5–7 is warranted until the card can be examined in hand or with sharper macro photography.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — moderate but not severe off-centering. Orange borders show no obvious heavy chipping visible at this resolution, but the image quality and glare prevent confident corner assessment. Corners appear to have at least light rounding consistent with EX to EX-MT range, but cannot rule out sharper corners hiding under the moderate image compression. No creases are visible but the reflective glare across the lower center obscures surface condition meaningfully. Range is widened considerably due to inability to closely inspect corner tips, edges, and surface texture; a closer scan could push this up to a 6-7 or confirm wear that keeps it at 4.
