1977 Topps Star Wars #41 Facing the deadly chasm

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-to-bottom) — this is off-center but within the range seen on typical blue-series Star Wars cards. The blue border shows what appears to be minor chipping or wear on at least the bottom-left corner area near the starburst, which is typical of this issue's vulnerability. Corner detail is soft due to image resolution, making it impossible to confirm whether tips are sharp or show rounding — this is the primary uncertainty suppressing the ceiling. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases or staining visible. The image is not a close-up scan, so corner and edge condition cannot be assessed with confidence; the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for the series. The blue border shows some chipping/spotting visible along the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars border wear. Corners appear lightly worn with minor rounding visible especially on the bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with EX-MT (6) territory; no sharp, fresh corners that would push toward NM. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though the photo angle limits edge and corner inspection detail. The seller's 'EX-MT+' self-assessment aligns with this read; the blue border chipping and corner softness cap the estimate in the 5–7 range, with 6 as the most probable single grade.
