1977 Topps Star Wars #4 Space pirate Han Solo — Raw

Centering estimate (approximate through sleeve glare): left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top and bottom borders look roughly 55/45 top-heavy — centering is off-center but within survivable range for this set, no miscut evident. Blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably at the corners which appear rounded rather than sharp — consistent with a VG-EX to EX range at best. Surface shows heavy print snow/grain typical of the Series 1 blue-border issue, but additional surface wear or light creasing cannot be ruled out due to sleeve glare obscuring fine detail. The sleeve glare prevents confident assessment of gloss retention and any potential creases, which is why the range is wide (3–6); a crease anywhere would push this toward the low end.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a significant concern. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear consistent with heavy handling, particularly noticeable along the left and bottom edges. All four corners appear rounded with some degree of corner wear - upper corners show more rounding than the PSA 4 threshold would allow. Surface shows scattered scuffing and gloss loss across the image area, and the card appears to have some light creasing or surface stress lines visible under the photo, which if confirmed would push this toward a PSA 3 VG. The combination of rounded corners, blue border chipping, centering issues, and apparent surface wear places this most likely at a PSA 3, with a possible PSA 4 if the surface stress lines are not true creases.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border slightly wider than bottom — centering is off but not catastrophically so. More critically, the blue borders show visible chipping and wear, particularly along the top and bottom edges. All four corners appear rounded to varying degrees — none retain a sharp point, with at least two corners showing moderate-to-significant rounding consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows some scuffing or scratching visible across the photo area (diagonal marks visible on the image), and overall gloss appears reduced. The bottom border also shows what appears to be a crease or fold stress mark near the center-bottom. Back cannot be assessed from this photo. This card presents as a solid PSA 3 (VG) candidate, with a low possibility of 4 if surface wear is lighter than it appears and the bottom stress mark is not a true crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically so for this set. The blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical 1977 Star Wars handling wear. Corners appear softly rounded on at least two visible corners (lower-left and lower-right), suggesting moderate wear in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows faint scratching or print lines visible through the sleeve glare, and there is some gloss loss evident — no obvious hard crease is visible but the sleeve/top-loader prevents a definitive ruling on surface creases. The combination of corner rounding, border chipping, and edge wear points to a PSA 4 (VG-EX) as the most likely outcome, with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 T/B - centering is off but not severely so horizontally; the main concern is surface condition. The card surface shows very visible creasing/wrinkling across the photo area, particularly in the upper-left quadrant and mid-card region - these appear to be actual surface creases, not purely glare artifacts, suggesting significant handling wear consistent with a PSA 2-3. Blue borders show chipping/wear along edges, consistent with typical 1977 Star Wars blue-border degradation. Corner detail is largely obscured by sleeve glare but what is visible suggests rounding at multiple corners. The sleeve glare prevents confident assessment of full gloss loss and corner condition, widening the range; if the surface creases are as severe as they appear, a grade of 2-3 is most likely.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 7 range but not tight enough for 8+. Blue borders show minor chipping/white wear spots visible along all four edges, most notably on the top-left and bottom corners, which is consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars border vulnerability. Corners appear to have very light rounding/wear — not razor sharp but not severely blunted, suggesting EX-MT to NM territory. Surface gloss appears mostly intact with no visible creases; the image is reasonably sharp. The back is not visible, which prevents assessment of reverse creases or staining, keeping the range wide; the blue border chipping is the primary grade-limiter here.
