1977 Topps Star Wars #316 Photographing the miniature explosions

Centering estimate from photo: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for a 7-8 range on this notoriously off-center set. The orange borders show no obvious chipping or major edge wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear reasonably sharp from the angle shown but the perspective distortion prevents a definitive corner assessment; no obvious blunting or rounding is visible but micro-wear cannot be ruled out. Surface gloss appears present with no visible creases or staining, consistent with the seller's NM claim; however, the angled single photo obscures the bottom-left and top-right corners and any subtle surface wear, which widens the range. Without a straight-on front photo and corner close-ups, pinning this tighter than 6–8 would be false precision.
