1977 Topps Star Wars #317 Filming explosions on the Death Star — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border appears modestly wider than bottom — roughly 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which is acceptable for NM-EX MT range. Corners appear to have very light wear with minor softening visible, particularly on the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX-MT to NM condition; no corners appear sharply crisp enough to push to 8. The orange border shows no obvious chipping or heavy edge wear visible at this resolution. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no visible creases, but the photo angle and resolution prevent confident assessment of subtle surface issues or print defects. Seller's EX to EX-MT self-assessment appears consistent with what is visible; a PSA 6 EX-MT is the most likely outcome, with 7 NM possible if corners are cleaner than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 15-20% wider than right border, top border slightly wider than bottom — approximately 60/40 left-right and 55/45 top-bottom, which is borderline acceptable for a 7 but leaning toward 6 territory. The orange borders show no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this set. Corners appear lightly worn — not sharp enough for an 8 or 9, with at least two corners showing soft rounding consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, though the photo angle and resolution limit full assessment of surface wear and print defects. Back condition is unknown; widening the range accordingly to 5-7 with a point estimate of 6 (EX-MT).
