1977 Topps Star Wars #27 Some repairs for See-Threepio — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely so. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear particularly along the left and bottom edges, consistent with the known fragility of this series. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding — no sharp points visible at any corner, suggesting EX to VG-EX territory. Surface appears clean with no obvious creases visible, and gloss looks partially intact though the sleeve glare obscures full assessment. The combination of border chipping and corner rounding points most likely to a PSA 5 EX, with 4 possible if corners are more rounded than they appear, and 6 possible if the sleeve is masking better-than-apparent condition.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not a primary concern. Blue borders show moderate chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably at the corners, which appear lightly rounded rather than sharp — consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and the image appears slightly soft, likely a combination of print quality and age-related wear. No creases are visible in this photo, but the overall edge and corner wear pushes this card into the 4–5 range; seller's 'EX' claim of a 5 is plausible but the corner and border wear visible here lean slightly toward VG-EX (4).

Centering (reading the card in correct orientation): left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — not the primary concern here. The blue border shows heavy chipping and white spotting across multiple edges, most severely along the left and bottom borders — a hallmark flaw of this issue but here well beyond typical. All four corners appear noticeably rounded with visible wear; at least two corners show significant softening consistent with a VG grade. Surface gloss appears largely intact in the image center but the overall border deterioration and corner rounding dominate the grade. No crease is clearly visible from this photo but cannot be ruled out on the back; the heavy border wear alone anchors this card firmly in the VG to VG-EX range, with the extent of chipping pushing toward the lower end.
