Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left blue border appears notably wider than right border, suggesting approximately 65-70% left / 30-35% right left-right bias; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, roughly 55/45 top-bottom — centering is off but not severely so for this set. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the sleeve glare but appear to show some rounding/wear, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no razor-sharp corners are evident. Blue border shows some expected chipping/wear typical of 1977 Topps Star Wars. Surface gloss appears moderately intact under the sleeve but no fine detail on print quality or potential creases can be confirmed from this single angled photo — range is intentionally wide to account for hidden back condition and corner detail.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left, 30-35% right), and top border slightly wider than bottom (~55% top, 45% bottom) — left/right centering is a meaningful concern approaching 70/30 territory. The blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges consistent with typical Star Wars blue-border handling wear. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and top-right most visible), suggesting EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but the penny sleeve haze prevents a clean read on print defects or fine scratches. No creases are visible from this photo, but the sleeve obscures finer surface detail; back is not shown.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), so centering is passable but not tight — within EX-NM range on that axis alone. Blue border shows visible chipping/wear particularly along the left and bottom edges, which is characteristic of this set but here appears moderate rather than severe. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding — not sharp, likely 1-2 corners with visible wear under magnification, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some loss visible, no obvious creases detected from this image, though the photo does not allow a definitive crease check at angles. Back condition unknown; widening range accordingly to account for unseen wear.
