1977 Topps Star Wars #52 Who will win the final Star War? — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 (slightly left-heavy), top/bottom roughly 60/40 (slightly top-heavy) — within NM-MT range on both axes. Blue borders show no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is encouraging for a 1977 Star Wars card. Corners appear reasonably sharp but slight softening is possible on one or two corners at the bottom — hard to confirm at this scan resolution without a closeup. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects noted; a minor print-snow speck or two may be present but nothing grade-breaking visible. The range of 6–8 reflects uncertainty about corner and edge condition that a single non-closeup seller photo cannot resolve definitively.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 6-7 range on this notoriously off-center series. Blue border chipping is the primary concern for this issue: the borders appear intact with no obvious chipping or fraying visible, though the left and bottom edges show some minor roughness consistent with handling. Corners appear lightly worn — not sharp enough for NM-MT (8) but not rounded to EX (5) territory; likely light wear consistent with EX-MT (6) to NM (7). Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects, though resolution limits a definitive read on micro-scratches or gloss loss; seller's title of EX-MT+ aligns plausibly with the photo evidence.

Centering: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. Blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most pronounced on the top-left and top-right corners, which appear lightly to moderately rounded — consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, no obvious creases are detectable from this angle though the seller's '[C]' notation may flag a condition issue not visible at this distance. Corner wear and border chipping rule out grades above 5; absence of heavy creasing or staining keeps it above 3.

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 off but not severely so. Blue border shows visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with the known fragility of this series' borders. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding, particularly on the lower-left corner; upper corners look slightly better but not sharp. Surface gloss appears moderate with some light wear but no obvious creases are visible from this angle. The card presents in the EX-MT to NM range pending closer inspection of corners and back; blue border chipping is the primary grade limiter here.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — moderate off-center but within acceptable vintage range. Blue border shows visible chipping/wear consistent with this issue, particularly noticeable along the bottom and left edges. Corners appear to have light rounding — not razor sharp but not severely blunted; consistent with an EX (5) grade. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the image resolution limits corner and edge inspection. The card stand partially obscures the bottom edge, preventing a full read of the lower border condition; back is unseen, widening the range accordingly.
