1977 Topps Star Wars #48 Artoo-Detoo is loaded aboard — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border appears notably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B, slightly off but not severe). Blue border shows visible chipping/wear along the edges consistent with this set's known fragility — top and left edges show light border wear. Corners: at least two corners (top-left and bottom-right) show visible rounding/softening consistent with an EX grade; no corners appear truly sharp. Surface shows some scuffing or light gloss loss across the image area, and there is a faint impression or light surface mark visible in the lower-left quadrant of the photo area that could be a very light crease or handling mark — this is the main uncertainty. No major creases confirmed, no staining or writing visible. Overall condition is consistent with EX (5) to EX-MT (6), with the surface wear and corner condition pulling it toward the lower end; the seller's 'EX/EX-MT' self-description seems reasonable and honest.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable for EX-MT range. Blue borders on all four sides appear largely intact with no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, though the blue border chip vulnerability of this series means edge condition cannot be fully confirmed. Corners appear to have light rounding — no sharp points visible under inspection, consistent with light-to-moderate wear placing this in the EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the slightly soft photo limits fine surface assessment. Overall the card presents as a solid EX to EX-MT specimen; a PSA 6 is the most likely outcome, with 7 possible if corners are sharper than they appear and 5 if edge chipping is found on back or corners are more rounded than visible here.
