Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corner inspection shows visible rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners; upper-right appears slightly better but no razor sharpness anywhere. Blue border shows light chipping/wear consistent with typical handling for this series. Surface appears to have some light scuffs or handling marks visible in the photo but no obvious hard creases; gloss appears partially intact. A back-of-card inspection would be needed to rule out hidden creases, and corner closeups would tighten this range considerably.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. Blue borders on 1977 Star Wars chip readily; the visible blue borders show what appears to be some chipping or wear along edges, particularly bottom and right, though glare obscures full assessment. Corners cannot be clearly resolved due to sleeve glare and image angle — at least one corner (bottom-left near starburst) appears to show some rounding or softening. Surface gloss appears intact under the glare but cannot be fully confirmed. The plastic sleeve/top-loader glare significantly limits corner and edge assessment, widening the range considerably; a closer, flat, unobstructed photo would be needed to narrow this estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~65/35 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B), so horizontal centering is a concern but not extreme. The blue border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, but the image is not high enough resolution to confirm corner sharpness — corners appear to show light rounding consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears moderate with no visible creases or staining. The seller title appends '6yt' which is likely an internal code and not a disclosed flaw; no crease is self-disclosed. Without corner closeups the range must remain wide; a strong EX (5) is the most likely single grade, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners prove sharper than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along multiple edges, particularly noticeable on the left and bottom edges where the blue has worn or nicked — consistent with the known fragility of 1977 Topps Star Wars blue borders. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding; no corner is razor-sharp, with the bottom-left and bottom-right showing the most wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and minor print snow visible in the blue border area; no creases are apparent from this photo, though the back cannot be assessed. Overall condition is consistent with EX (PSA 5) with a possible stretch to EX-MT (PSA 6) if corners are cleaner than they appear, or a drop to VG-EX (PSA 4) if the border chipping is more extensive on inspection.
