1977 Topps Star Wars #302 Threepio and Artoo — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — within NM-MT range for top/bottom, borderline for left/right. Orange border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution. Corners appear to have light rounding on at least two corners (visible softness at bottom-left and top-left), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears mostly intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though a single photo at this scale cannot rule out light surface wear. The grade range of 5–7 reflects uncertainty about corner condition and any reverse-side issues; the point estimate of 6 (EX-MT) reflects the apparent corner softening seen at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55% top) — call it approximately 60/40 left-right and 55/45 top-bottom, which is within NM-MT range for centering alone. Corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution but the photo does not allow tight closeup inspection; there is a suggestion of very light wear on at least one corner. Surface gloss appears decent with no obvious creases visible, and the orange border shows no dramatic chipping. The image resolution and slight sleeve reflection limit confident corner and edge assessment, widening the range; a collector should examine corners and edges under a loupe before submitting.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but within EX-MT to NM range. Corners appear lightly worn with mild rounding visible at bottom-left and top-left; right-side corners are harder to assess due to sleeve glare. Orange border shows no obvious chipping or major wear. Surface gloss appears decent with no creases visible from this angle, though the sleeve glare partially obscures the lower-left quadrant and left edge. The seller's '7oe' notation likely indicates a 7 on-center qualifier attempt, but centering reads closer to 65/35 range to my eye, pointing toward a PSA 6 EX-MT as most likely, with PSA 7 possible if corners and surface hold up under closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably tight and not a major deduction. The orange borders show no obvious chipping but slight edge wear is possible on the right side; corners appear mostly sharp with what looks like very minor softening on the lower-left and lower-right corners visible at this resolution — not rounded, but not perfectly crisp razor points. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible. The scan resolution limits a definitive corner and edge assessment, and the back is unseen, keeping the range wide between EX-MT (6) and NM-MT (8) with NM (7) as the most likely single grade.
