1977 Topps Star Wars #35 Luke and Han as stormtroopers — Raw

Centering estimate (approximate due to rotation): left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom appear roughly 65/35 — serviceable but not tight. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along the left edge and bottom corners, consistent with the well-known fragility of this border stock. All four corners appear softly rounded rather than sharp, with the bottom-left corner showing the most wear; no corner is crisp enough for NM territory. Surface gloss appears reduced with some cloudiness visible, but no obvious hard crease is detected from this angle — though the photo angle and lighting could conceal light crease lines. Edge wear is moderate. Overall the card presents as a mid-grade VG-EX to EX copy; a crease hidden by the angle could push this to VG (3).

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders look relatively even at approximately 55/45 — centering is acceptable but not tight. Blue borders show visible chipping and wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with this set's known border fragility. Corners appear lightly rounded but not severely so; no razor-sharp corners are evident, consistent with an EX (5) card. No creases are visible in this scan, surface gloss appears moderate with some wear but no obvious scratches or staining. The seller's EX self-grade aligns with the visual evidence; the main grade risk is border chipping on the blue edges which PSA scrutinizes heavily on this issue, potentially pulling the grade to VG-EX (4).
