1977 Topps Star Wars #285 Spiffed-up for the Awards Ceremony! — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 off-center with the right orange border notably narrower than the left, top/bottom closer to 55/45 — centering is a concern but not catastrophic, roughly EX-MT range horizontally. Corners show some rounding at all four tips, most visible at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with EX (5) to VG-EX (4) wear. Surface gloss appears partially intact with moderate loss visible across the image area, no creases are evident from this photo though the image compression limits confidence. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chipping of the orange border visible, which is the primary vulnerability on this series; back not visible so hidden flaws (creases, staining) cannot be ruled out, widening the range accordingly.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R); top border appears modestly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — acceptable for NM range. Corners: the camera angle and resolution make fine corner assessment difficult, but no obvious rounding or blunting is visible; corners appear relatively sharp, consistent with EX-MT to NM-MT range. Surface: gloss appears strong with no obvious creases, scratches, or print defects visible; the orange border shows no significant chipping. Edges: appear clean with no fraying visible at this resolution; back is unseen so staining, creases, or writing cannot be ruled out, and corner tips could reveal wear on closer inspection — range widened accordingly.
