1977 Topps Star Wars #55 Han, Chewie and Luke — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders look relatively even (~55/45 T-B), so centering is off but not miscut territory. Blue border chipping is visible at multiple points along the left and bottom edges, which is typical vintage wear for this issue but still grade-relevant. Corners show visible rounding, particularly at the bottom-left and top-right, suggesting handling wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with no obvious creases visible from this photo, but the angle and resolution prevent confident assessment of subtle surface issues. Given blue border chip wear and corner rounding, a grade of 4 (VG-EX) is the most likely single outcome, with EX (5) possible if corners and surface are cleaner than they appear, and VG (3) possible if the reverse shows additional wear.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders look relatively even at approximately 55/45 — centering is acceptable but not tight. Blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably at the top-left and bottom corners where the blue has worn back; this is characteristic of the 1977 Topps blue series but the degree here is consistent with an EX (5) grade. Corner tips show light-to-moderate rounding — no sharp points remain, but no aggressive rounding or paper loss evident; this is consistent with EX to EX-MT territory. Surface appears reasonably clean with intact gloss in the image area; no creases are visible from this photo, though a single-side scan cannot rule out back-surface issues. The seller's 'EX-MT' claim is slightly optimistic given the visible border wear and corner softness; EX (5) is the most likely grade, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners hold up under closer inspection and VG-EX (4) a floor if the reverse shows additional wear.

Centering estimate: left blue border appears notably wider than right (~60-65% left, 35-40% right L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — off-center left but not dramatically so, consistent with PSA 6-7 range. Corner detail is obscured by scan resolution; no corners appear sharply crisp but no obvious heavy rounding or creasing is visible either, suggesting mild wear in the EX-MT to NM range. Blue borders on this series chip readily and show wear first; the borders here look intact but the scan quality prevents confident assessment of chipping or edge nicks. Surface gloss and print quality cannot be reliably judged from this scan — the seller's NM-MT claim is likely optimistic given the apparent left-heavy centering; a realistic estimate centers around PSA 6 (EX-MT) with range extending to 5 or 7 depending on what corner and edge inspection reveals in hand.

Centering estimate: left blue border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders look relatively even (~55/45 T/B), so centering is off horizontally but not severely. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars handling wear. Corner inspection at this resolution suggests at least moderate rounding on multiple corners — the bottom-left and bottom-right corners appear softened, consistent with a VG-EX (4) to EX (5) range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled, with no obvious creases visible in the photo; however, the seller's title suffix '[C]' may indicate a crease that is not clearly visible at this angle, which if present would push the grade toward 3. No miscut is evident.
