1977 Topps Star Wars #289 The Rebel Fighters take off!

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — within NM-MT range on centering alone. The orange border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is encouraging for this series. Corners appear to have light wear at two or three tips — not sharp enough to suggest Mint but not significantly rounded either, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows what appears to be moderate gloss retention with some light handling wear or micro-scratches visible under the photo's lighting, but the angled shot and image resolution prevent confident assessment of creases or deeper surface flaws. The seller's 'NRMT' claim is plausible but the photo angle and quality prevent confirming cleaner grades; range is widened accordingly.
