1977 Topps Star Wars #6 Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi — Raw

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 7-8 range. Blue borders show no obvious chipping or significant edge wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear to have light rounding or very slight blunting — upper right looks the sharpest, lower left shows the most wear, consistent with a grade of 7 rather than 8. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining, and the image is clean. Because no corner macro shots are provided, the range is widened to account for hidden wear; a confirmed soft lower-left corner and mild blue border chipping would land this at 6 EX-MT, while sharper corners than they appear could support NM-MT 8.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left / 30-35% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — meaningful left-to-right miscentering consistent with typical Series 1 wandering. Blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most pronounced on the top-left and bottom-left. Corners appear rounded rather than sharp — all four show softening with the bottom-left corner looking the most worn, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows significant toning/yellowing on the photo area and some light soiling or handling marks; gloss appears largely lost. No obvious hard crease is visible from this angle, but the overall wear profile and corner rounding point to a grade in the 3–4 range, with the centering and border chipping pulling it toward the lower end.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider 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 at the top-left and bottom corners, consistent with typical blue-series border fragility. All four corners exhibit rounding and softness; none are sharp — upper-left appears the worst, suggesting a grade ceiling around EX-VG-EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning/aging consistent with a 45-year-old unsleeved card, but no obvious creases or staining are visible from this single front photo. Back condition, which could reveal creases or paper damage, is unknown and is the primary reason for the widened range.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom appear roughly even (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with the known fragility of this series. Corners appear rounded to lightly blunted at all four points, most notably the top-left and bottom-left, suggesting moderate handling wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some light soiling or print speckling near the subject's face area, and gloss appears partially diminished. No obvious hard crease is visible from this scan, but the image resolution is not sufficient to fully rule out light surface creasing; the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 and top/bottom roughly 60/40 — not a centering problem. Surface damage is the primary concern: there is a prominent diagonal crease or fold line visible across the upper-center of the card face, plus what appears to be additional lighter surface creasing or wear in the image area; the photo has yellowed/toned noticeably suggesting age stress or possible moisture history. Blue border shows chipping/wear consistent with this series. Corners appear softly rounded — no sharp points visible — consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Gloss loss is evident across the face. The visible crease alone typically caps the grade at PSA 3 (VG), and combined with the toning/surface wear a range of 2–4 reflects genuine uncertainty about crease depth from a single seller photo.

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — centering alone is not disqualifying. Surface shows multiple visible scratches/scuffs across the photo area, particularly in the upper-left and mid-card zones, which are significant surface defects. The blue border shows chipping and wear consistent with heavy handling. Corners: all four corners appear rounded and soft with visible wear, consistent with a VG (3) grade. The combination of rounded corners, notable surface scratching/scuffing, and border chipping pins this card in the VG to VG-EX range (2-4), with PSA 3 being the most likely landing spot; the surface scratches in particular are the grade-limiting factor.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear moderately balanced at approximately 55/45 T-B — centering is passable but not tight. Surface shows significant issues: at least one visible diagonal crease/scratch running across the upper-left quadrant of the photo area, plus additional surface scuffing/scratches visible across the image; gloss appears heavily diminished. Blue border shows the typical chipping wear of this issue along all four edges. Corners appear rounded and show wear consistent with a VG to VG-EX range; no corner is sharp. The combination of a visible crease/surface scratch and rounded corners with gloss loss puts this squarely in the VG (3) neighborhood, with VG-EX (4) only possible if the diagonal mark resolves as a printing artifact rather than a true crease on closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is imperfect but not severely off-center. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably at the bottom-left corner and right edge, consistent with heavy handling. All four corners show rounding — no sharp points remain, with the lower-left corner appearing the most worn. Surface gloss is significantly reduced with visible dulling across the image area and some scuffing visible. No obvious creases are apparent from this angle, though the card shows enough overall wear (rounded corners, border chipping, gloss loss) to suggest a PSA 3 (VG) with a possible stretch to 4 (VG-EX) if no creases are confirmed on inspection; back cannot be assessed from this photo.

Centering estimate from photo: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — not ideal but within tolerable range for the series. The blue borders, which chip readily on 1977 Topps Star Wars, show visible wear and chipping along the left edge and corners, with the most obvious damage at the lower-left corner which appears rounded and nicked. The remaining corners look lightly to moderately worn but the glare across the image surface prevents a confident read on surface condition, potential creases, or print defects. Edge wear is present but not catastrophic. Given the visible corner rounding, border chipping, and inability to rule out surface issues under the glare, a range of 3–5 is appropriate with VG-EX (4) as the most likely single grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~55% right-heavy), top border slightly narrower than bottom — rough L/R ratio ~60/40, T/B ~55/45, centering is off but not severely so by vintage Star Wars standards. Blue border shows visible chipping/wear along edges, most notably at top-left and bottom-left corners which appear noticeably rounded; the other two corners show moderate rounding as well, consistent with VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears reduced with some light wear visible, and there is a faint haze suggesting handling, though no obvious hard crease is confirmed from this angle. The seller's 'VGEX' self-assessment aligns with the visual evidence; a grade of 4 (VG-EX) seems most likely, with 3 (VG) possible if corner rounding or a hidden surface crease is worse than the photo reveals, and 5 (EX) possible if the blue border chipping is less severe than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~55-60% right-heavy), top border appears slightly wider than bottom — rough L/R ratio ~60/40 to 65/35, T/B ~55/45; centering is off but not dramatically so for this issue. The blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and top edges, which is characteristic but grade-relevant. Corners cannot be assessed with high confidence due to card angle and image resolution — the top-left corner appears to have some rounding and the bottom portion of the card is foreshortened. Surface shows moderate print quality consistent with the era but no obvious creases are visible. The photo angle and distance prevent reliable corner and edge assessment; range is widened accordingly to account for hidden information.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is off-condition but not catastrophically miscut. Blue borders show visible chipping and wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical handling wear for this issue. Corners appear rounded, particularly the top-right and bottom-right, suggesting moderate wear in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and the scan reveals slight toning/aging; no creases are clearly visible but cannot be ruled out. The photo quality limits precise corner and edge assessment — range is widened accordingly.

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, within EX-EX-MT range. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear on at least the top-left corner area, with the bottom corners also appearing softened; corners are not sharp. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling visible, consistent with handling wear. A complete condition assessment is limited by the single front-only image — back condition, hidden corner wear, and any creasing on the reverse cannot be evaluated, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B), overall centering is passable for vintage. Blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably the top and left edges where the blue has nicked and faded — typical of this issue but grade-limiting. Corners appear lightly to moderately rounded; at least two corners (top-left and bottom-right) show visible softening, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows some toning/yellowing on the photo area and a slight loss of gloss, though no creases are visible from this angle. The acrylic stand and slight downward angle obscure the bottom edge and lower corners, widening the range; a full flat scan could move the grade up or down within this window.
