1977 Topps Star Wars #293 A friendly chat among alien friends! — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60-65% top), suggesting off-center but not severely so — roughly 60/40 L/R and 60/40 T/B. The photo is somewhat small and has glare along the top and left edges, making corner and surface assessment difficult. Corners appear to have some rounding or softness, particularly visible at the bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with an EX (5) range card. No obvious creases are visible from this image but the photo resolution is insufficient to rule them out. Orange border chipping cannot be clearly assessed due to image quality and case glare; the range is widened accordingly to reflect uncertainty about corner and edge condition.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to ~55/45 T/B — centering is a concern but not catastrophically off. Corners are difficult to assess clearly due to soft focus and slight glare; they appear to show some rounding consistent with light-to-moderate handling, tentatively EX to VG-EX range. Orange border shows no obvious severe chipping visible at this resolution. Surface gloss appears present but the photo quality limits confidence in detecting fine scratches or print defects. The soft focus prevents confident corner or edge assessment; range is widened accordingly to account for hidden wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 55/45 L-R), top border appears notably thinner than bottom (approx 65/35 T-B) — centering is passable but not tight. Corners are difficult to assess at this resolution and scan angle; no obvious heavy rounding is visible but fine corner wear cannot be ruled out. The orange border shows no dramatic chipping visible at this scale. Surface gloss appears present but the image quality and slight glare prevent confident assessment of print wear, scratches, or creases — the seller title discloses no creases but the photo cannot confirm surface condition. Range is widened due to limited resolution and inability to inspect corners or edges closely.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — within acceptable range for this series, no obvious miscut. The orange border shows some visible chipping/wear along the edges, particularly along the bottom and right side, which is typical for this series but still grade-relevant. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to image resolution and watermark obstruction, but appear to show light-to-moderate rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases visible, but the compressed photo quality prevents confident surface assessment. The wide range reflects genuine uncertainty about corner and edge condition that a closer, cleaner image would resolve.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom appears roughly 55/45 — acceptable for the series but not tight. The orange border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, though the sleeve glare on the lower-left obscures the starburst logo area and bottom border detail. Corners cannot be assessed with precision due to image angle and soft focus, but they appear to show at least light rounding consistent with a 5 EX range. Surface gloss appears moderate with no creases visible, but the scan/photo quality is too compressed and glare-affected to rule out light wear. Range widened due to inability to confirm corner sharpness or surface condition from this single angled photo.
