1977 Topps Star Wars #5 Princess Leia Organa — TAG (grade unconfirmed)

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 65/35 L-R), top and bottom appear roughly 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along the bottom edge and lower-left corner, consistent with the known fragility of this series' blue borders. All four corners show rounding, with the bottom-left corner appearing the most worn and potentially nicked. Card surface shows some gloss loss and there is light soiling or wear visible in the lower portion of the card face. No visible creases from this angle, though the back cannot be assessed. The combination of corner rounding, border chipping, and gloss loss places this card solidly in the VG-EX to EX range; a hidden crease on the back or additional surface wear could push it to VG (3).

Centering: left border appears approximately 10-12% wider than the right border, and the top border is noticeably wider than the bottom — estimating L/R roughly 60/40 and T/B roughly 65/35, which is borderline acceptable for a mid-grade but not clean enough for 7+. Blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with typical 1977 Star Wars blue-series handling wear, but severity is moderate rather than severe. Corners: the visible corners show light-to-moderate rounding — not sharp, but not fully blunted; consistent with EX to EX-MT territory. Surface appears to retain partial gloss with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the lower-center area has a slightly uneven sheen that could indicate a soft crease or surface wear — cannot confirm without better lighting. The sleeve glare and propped angle obscure fine corner detail and edge condition on the right side, widening the range; a raw grade of PSA 5 EX is the most likely outcome given the border wear and corner condition.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55% top) — centering is imperfect but not severely off-center, roughly 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B. The blue border shows visible chipping/wear consistent with this notoriously fragile stock, particularly noticeable along the edges. Corner detail is obscured by the sleeve and image resolution, but corners appear to show some rounding or blunting rather than being sharp — consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface appears intact with no obvious creases visible through the sleeve, and there is some gloss loss evident. The soft poly sleeve prevents confident corner and edge assessment; the range is widened accordingly to account for hidden wear.
