Index grading notes
Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - acceptable for the set. The blue borders show some visible chipping/wear at the corners, particularly the upper-left and lower-right corners appear slightly soft, consistent with light rounding rather than sharp points - this is the most grade-limiting factor visible. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, and the photo image itself looks clean. This is a single flat seller photo without corner macro shots, so corner and edge condition cannot be fully confirmed; the range is widened accordingly to account for hidden wear on the back or corner damage not visible at this angle.
Centering estimate: left border ~6mm, right border ~4mm (approx 60/40 L/R acceptable); top border ~5mm, bottom border ~4mm (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. The blue borders show visible chipping and white wear spots consistent with typical 1977 Star Wars handling wear, particularly noticeable along the top and left edges. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding — no razor sharpness visible on any corner, suggesting EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows scattered print snow (normal for the issue) and mild gloss loss but no visible creases are confirmed from this angle; the image resolution limits definitive crease detection. Overall condition reads as a honest VG-EX (4) with upside to EX (5) if corners are cleaner than they appear, and downside to VG (3) if a crease is present on the back or hidden by photo angle.
