Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most apparent on the left and bottom edges, consistent with the known fragility of 1977 Topps Star Wars blue borders. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding — not sharp, but no severe blunting visible; consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible; no creases are detectable in this image, though the scan resolution limits certainty. Overall condition reads as a solid EX (5) candidate, with a realistic floor of VG-EX (4) if corner rounding is worse than it appears, and a ceiling of EX-MT (6) if the blue border edge wear is less severe in hand.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 55-60% of right border width (card leans slightly left), top border appears roughly equal to or slightly wider than bottom — approximate L/R ~60/40, T/B ~55/45, which is within NM-MT range on its own. However, the blue borders show visible chipping/wear, particularly along the left edge and lower-left corner, which is the characteristic weakness of this series. All four corners show some degree of rounding visible even through the case — the lower-left corner appears the most worn with rounding consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears intact across most of the image area with no obvious creases detected, though the hard case obscures fine corner detail and edge condition. Given the corner rounding and blue border chipping, a PSA 5 (EX) is the most likely grade, with 4 (VG-EX) possible if corners are softer than they appear, and 6 (EX-MT) possible if the apparent wear is partly shadow artifact from the case.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — left-right imbalance is significant and pushes toward OC territory in PSA's view. Blue border shows visible chipping and wear along multiple edges, consistent with heavy handling. All four corners appear rounded with evident softening, at minimum VG-level rounding and possibly worse on the lower corners. Surface shows gloss loss and what appears to be general wear or light soiling; no definitive crease is confirmed from this photo but cannot be ruled out given overall condition. The watermark obscures the center image making precise surface assessment difficult, so the range is widened accordingly — a hidden crease or heavier edge damage could push this to a 2.

Centering: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — horizontal centering is the main concern but not catastrophically off. Corners: all four show visible rounding, particularly the bottom corners which appear softer; no sharp points remain, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Edges: the blue border shows modest chipping/wear typical of this issue, with some minor roughness visible along the left edge. Surface: gloss appears partially intact but with visible wear and light toning; no creases are clearly visible in the photo though the image resolution makes a definitive crease call difficult — the surface texture in the lower portion could suggest a soft crease or simply print wear. Overall the card presents as a honest VG-EX (4) with some chance of landing EX (5) if the surface is cleaner than it reads here or dropping to VG (3) if a crease is confirmed on closer inspection.
