Shaded band is the middle half of live Buy It Now asking prices, weekly intervals; the line is the median. Auctions are excluded - a climbing bid is not an asking price. The scale follows the asking prices, so a sale well outside them is pinned to the edge rather than flattening the band.middle halfconfirmed salebest offer, at its cap

Index grading notes

Estimated grades are this site’s opinion, derived from the seller’s photo and expressed on the PSA scale. Not affiliated with or endorsed by PSA; not a guarantee of any grading outcome.
1977 TOPPS STAR WARS CARD #278 ORANGE SERIES HIGH GRADE NRMT
Estimated grade: 7 (6–8) · MEDIUM confidence · asking $6.99

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40 favoring left, and top/bottom appears approximately 55/45 — acceptable for NM range. The orange border shows no obvious chipping along the edges from this view. Corners appear reasonably sharp with at most very light wear on the visible corners; no obvious rounding detected but the single-angle photo prevents full corner assessment. Surface gloss appears largely intact with no visible creases or staining; print quality looks clean with good color saturation. The card's slight bow/curve is a cosmetic issue that PSA may note but typically does not cap the grade; the primary uncertainty is corner and edge condition on the hidden sides, which keeps the range wide at 6–8.

1977 Topps Star Wars A Narrow Escape! #278 15fy
Estimated grade: 6 (5–7) · MEDIUM confidence · asking $8.19

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40 favoring left, and top/bottom appears approximately 60/40 favoring top — acceptable for a 6-7 grade on this wandering-centering issue. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have light wear with minor rounding on at least two visible corners (bottom-right most evident), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, though the photo cannot confirm the back or reveal hairline scratches. Edges appear clean without obvious chipping of the orange border, though the bottom edge near the logo shows some wear that needs closer inspection; back condition and corner micro-wear under magnification are unknowns that widen the range.
