1977 Topps Star Wars #59 Alec Guinness as Ben Kenobi — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severe. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with the known fragility of this issue's borders. Corners appear rounded at all four tips, most noticeably at lower-left and upper-right, suggesting handling wear in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but the photo resolution and angle make it impossible to confirm crease presence or absence with confidence; no obvious crease is visible but soft focus conceals fine detail. The wide range reflects the limited photo quality and inability to inspect corners or edges closely.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not severely so. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably at the top-left and bottom-right corners which appear rounded rather than sharp. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or handling marks on the photo area, consistent with moderate wear. Corner sharpness is compromised on at least two corners visible in this image; no creases are clearly evident but cannot be ruled out without a back view or higher-resolution corner closeup — the seller's '[C]' notation in the title may signal a crease, which if present would push the grade toward 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears narrower than bottom (~45/55 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. Blue borders on this series chip readily; the left and bottom blue borders show visible surface wear and what appear to be edge chips or nicks, particularly along the bottom-left. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to photo angle and perspective distortion, but the top-left and bottom-right corners appear to show some rounding/softening consistent with light handling wear. Surface gloss appears partially intact but shows some dulling, and the photo stock shows the typical print texture of this issue. No creases are visible, which keeps this out of VG territory, but corner and edge wear push it below NM-MT; EX to EX-MT (PSA 5–6) is the most defensible range, with 5 as the point estimate given the visible blue border chipping.

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right, top border slightly wider than bottom — estimating approximately 55/45 L/R and 58/42 T/B, which is acceptable for the grade range. Blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably at the top-left and bottom-left corners where the blue has worn through to white — consistent with corner rounding in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact in the center of the card but shows wear and scuffing visible across the border areas; no obvious creases are detectable from this photo but the image resolution prevents ruling one out entirely. Edges show roughness and minor fraying consistent with handling wear; overall the card presents as a solid VG-EX (4) with EX (5) possible if corners and surface are cleaner than they appear, but corner wear on the blue border pulls the ceiling down.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-to-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-to-B), so centering is passable but not tight. Blue border chipping is the primary concern — there is visible wear and color loss along multiple edges of the blue border, most notably the top and left edges, which is a classic and common defect for this issue. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding; at least two corners (top-left and bottom-left) show softening visible even at this distance. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the toploader glare obscures fine surface detail on the right side. Overall condition consistent with a VG-EX (4) grade, with a range of 3–5 depending on what corner and surface inspection under light reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 7-8 range on its own. However, the blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably at the top-left and bottom-left corners, which appear softened/lightly rounded rather than sharp. The surface gloss appears partially diminished, consistent with light handling wear. The bottom-right corner also shows some rounding. No visible creases are detected in this photo, but the edge wear and corner softening on the blue border — a known fragility of this series — cap this card in the EX to EX-MT range. Back cannot be assessed, which prevents ruling out hidden creases or staining.
