1977 Topps Star Wars #5 Princess Leia Organa

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top/bottom) — left/right centering is a visible concern. The blue borders show no obvious heavy chipping along the visible edges but some surface wear is plausible at this resolution. Corners cannot be assessed with precision from this single overhead shot; they appear to have some rounding but no extreme damage visible, consistent with an EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases detected, though the image angle obscures fine detail on corners and edges. The left/right centering imbalance likely prevents a grade above 6, and without corner closeups the floor is conservatively set at 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approx 65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophic. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear, particularly along the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars blue-border fragility. Corners appear rounded with wear visible at multiple points, suggesting at least moderate handling. Surface shows some loss of gloss and possible light creasing or surface scuffing in the image area, though the scan quality makes it difficult to definitively rule out a crease — the title code '0hg' gives no clear self-disclosed flaw. Overall condition points to a VG to VG-EX range (PSA 3–4), with the corner and border wear being the primary grade suppressors.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably thinner than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly thinner than bottom, approximate L/R ratio 60/40 to 65/35 and T/B ratio 55/45 — borderline but within NM-MT range vertically, marginal horizontally. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear on all four corners, most notably the lower-left and upper-left corners which show white corner rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows scattered print snow/speckles typical of this issue but also a few small green ink flecks on the white dress area that may be print defects or surface contamination. Gloss appears present but reduced, with no visible creases from this angle; the back is unseen so hidden creases cannot be ruled out, warranting a conservative floor of 4.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 favoring top — centering is passable but not tight. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably at the top-left and bottom-left corners which display noticeable rounding and fraying consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows some scuffing or light wear with modest gloss loss across the photo area; no obvious hard crease is visible from this angle but the card shows overall handling wear throughout. The back is not visible so creases or staining cannot be ruled out, and the corner wear alone likely caps this card in the PSA 3–4 range without additional hidden damage.
