1977 Topps Star Wars #313 The birth of a droid

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border modestly wider than bottom (~55-60% top) — roughly 60/40 L-R and 55/45 T-B, within NM-range if confirmed. The orange border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this series. Corners cannot be assessed with precision due to glare and scan quality; they appear intact without obvious rounding but no close-up detail is available. Surface gloss appears present with no visible creases or staining. The image resolution and sleeve glare prevent confident corner and edge assessment, widening the range — a sharper photo could push this up to 7 or down to 5 depending on corner and edge condition.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 or better, top/bottom looks roughly 55/45 — centering is reasonably competitive but the card's warp makes precise measurement difficult. Orange borders show no obvious chipping or heavy wear visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this series. Corners appear intact with no gross rounding visible, though the angle and photo resolution prevent confident corner-tip assessment — at least two corners look relatively sharp, the others are ambiguous. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases, scuffs, or print defects noted, though the blue tint of the image and mild warp obscure fine surface detail. The seller's 'high grade mint' claim is plausible but likely optimistic; honest range accounting for photo limitations is EX to NM (5–7), with EX-MT (6) as the most defensible single estimate pending corner and back inspection.
