1977 Topps Star Wars #302 Threepio and Artoo — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — passable but not tight. Corners show light rounding/softening consistent with an EX to EX-MT card; no corners appear sharply crisp enough for NM territory but no severe rounding either. Surface shows moderate gloss with some wear/flatness in the image area; no creases are visible from this photo. Orange borders appear reasonably intact with no obvious chipping, though the photo angle and resolution make definitive edge and corner assessment difficult — the true grade could drift a grade in either direction depending on back condition and closer corner inspection.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 — within NM-MT range horizontally but slightly off vertically; overall centering is acceptable for a 7-8. Corners: from this distance all four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding, though the lower-left and lower-right corners show the slightest suggestion of softening that would need close inspection to confirm. Surface and gloss appear solid with good reflectivity and no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond normal vintage print texture. Orange borders on this series are less prone to chipping than blue, and the edges look clean with no obvious nicks; back cannot be assessed from this photo, and corner closeups would be needed to confirm the upper grade boundary.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — passable for a 7-8 range. Corners appear reasonably sharp with minimal rounding visible at this resolution, though the bottom-left and bottom-right corners show slight softening consistent with light wear. The orange border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects, though the image resolution limits a confident corner and edge assessment. The seller's 'no9' in the title may be aspirational; based on centering and apparent light corner wear, NM (7) is the most defensible single estimate, with upside to NM-MT (8) if corners hold up under closer inspection.
