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

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for vintage but drifting. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and softening under scrutiny; no sharp points remain, consistent with EX territory. Blue border shows light chipping/wear on edges, particularly visible at the bottom edge where typical 1977 Star Wars blue-border wear concentrates. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no obvious creases visible in this photo, but the image does not allow close corner or edge inspection — the range is widened accordingly. Seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with the visible evidence; a PSA 5 EX is the most likely grade, with 4 VG-EX possible if corner rounding is more severe than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate: left blue border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top), so centering is off but not catastrophically so — roughly 65/35 L/R. The four corners show visible rounding, most evident at top-left and bottom-left, consistent with handling wear. The blue border shows chipping and wear along the left and bottom edges, a classic Star Wars blue-series tell. Surface appears to have lost meaningful gloss with some toning/yellowing in the image area, and there is at least one area of possible light creasing or surface disturbance in the lower-left quadrant of the photo — difficult to confirm definitively through the sleeve. Overall condition profile points to VG (3) with a range allowing for VG-EX (4) if the suspected crease resolves as a surface wrinkle, or GOOD (2) if it is a true crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 65/35 L-R favoring left), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so for this notoriously wandering issue. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear along all four edges, most notably at the top edge and corners, consistent with typical handling wear on this issue. Corner tips appear rounded rather than sharp — all four corners show softening, suggesting EX to VG-EX range at best. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the photo angle and card tilt limit full assessment of the surface and back. The blue border chipping and rounded corners are the primary grade drivers, placing this in the EX (5) range as a point estimate with VG-EX (4) to EX-MT (6) as the realistic window.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border appears slightly larger than bottom — approximate L/R ratio roughly 60/40 to 65/35, T/B roughly 55/45; centering is off but within EX-MT range. Corners appear to have light to moderate rounding visible at all four tips, most apparent at the upper corners — consistent with EX to EX-MT wear. Red border shows no dramatic chipping visible but the image resolution limits fine corner and edge inspection. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, supporting at least a grade-5 floor; the off-centering and corner wear together keep the ceiling around 7. Sleeve glare slightly obscures left and right border edges, adding modest uncertainty to the centering and edge assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — reasonably centered but difficult to confirm precisely through the sleeve. Corners appear lightly rounded on the visible upper-right corner, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range; remaining corners are obscured by the sleeve and card angle. Surface shows the photo is somewhat dark/flat which may indicate gloss loss, though sleeve reflectivity makes this hard to confirm. No creases are visible but the image resolution and sleeve obstruction prevent confident assessment of fine surface wear, print defects, or edge condition — 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 (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with typical 1977 Star Wars blue-border handling wear. Corners appear rounded at all four tips — most evident at bottom-left and top-right — suggesting moderate handling; rounding is consistent with a VG-EX (4) to EX (5) range rather than sharp corners. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, no obvious hard crease is apparent from this image though the photo resolution is insufficient to rule out light surface creasing. Overall condition points to a VG-EX 4 as most likely, with EX 5 possible if corners are sharper than they appear and VG 3 possible if closer inspection reveals a crease or more aggressive corner rounding.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably close but the display stand obscures the bottom edge, preventing a firm read. Blue borders show some chipping or wear visible along the left and top edges, consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars blue-border fragility. Corners appear to have light rounding at minimum — no razor sharpness evident but no severe rounding either, suggesting EX-MT to NM territory. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases or staining visible; print quality looks average for the issue with no notable print snow. The holder obstruction and single-angle photo prevent confident corner and edge assessment, widening the range to 5–7.

Centering estimate: left blue border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R); top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — left-right bias is the primary centering concern but not miscut territory. Corners cannot be closely inspected at this resolution; the upper-left corner appears slightly soft and the lower corners are obscured by the starburst overlay and sleeve angle. Blue border shows no obviously chipped edges in the visible portions, but the sleeve prevents a clean edge read. Surface gloss appears moderate with no creases visible, though the sleeve glare makes a definitive surface call impossible — range is widened accordingly to account for hidden corner and edge wear on a 47-year-old card.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B) — centering is off but not severely OC. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding/wear; no sharp points are evident, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface: the photo image shows a yellowish/toned cast which is age-typical for this issue, and there is visible print wear/light surface scuffing; no obvious creases or hard folds are detectable from this angle, though the image angle cannot fully rule out a light crease. Blue border chipping is moderate along edges — again typical for this issue but adds cumulative wear. Overall profile fits VG-EX (4) with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and surfaces are cleaner than the toning suggests.

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 off but not severely so, no miscut visible. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear particularly along the bottom and left edges, consistent with the known fragility of this series' blue borders. Corners appear rounded at all four points with the most wear visible on the bottom-left and bottom-right, suggesting VG-EX to EX territory (grades 4-5). Surface gloss appears partially intact but the scan/photo shows some dulling and possible light soiling or toning on the photo area; the top-loader glare prevents a confident surface read. A grade of 4 (VG-EX) is the single most likely outcome given the corner rounding and border chipping, but EX (5) is possible if the surface is cleaner than the photo suggests.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 60/40 L-R), top border appears notably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so, consistent with PSA 5-7 range. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear along all edges, particularly noticeable along the left and bottom edges, which is characteristic of this issue but still grade-relevant. Corner detail is partially hidden by the top-loader case walls; what is visible suggests light-to-moderate rounding rather than sharp corners, pointing away from NM-MT territory. Surface glare from the plastic case prevents confident assessment of print quality, gloss retention, and any potential creasing — the grade range is widened accordingly. Overall impression is an EX (5) card, but the range spans VG-EX (4) to EX-MT (6) pending a proper out-of-holder examination.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border appears tighter than bottom (roughly 45/55 T/B) — centering appears passable but not tight. The blue borders show visible chipping/wear consistent with this issue's known fragility, most apparent along the top and right edges. Corners appear rounded rather than sharp — all four corners show some degree of softening visible even at this resolution, suggesting wear consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface glare from the toploader limits assessment of print quality and gloss retention; there is an apparent fading/toning to the photo area that may indicate gloss loss or simply the age of the print stock. No creases are visible from this angle but cannot be ruled out given the image quality. Range widened due to toploader glare obscuring corner and surface detail.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders appear reasonably balanced (~55/45 T-B), so horizontal centering is a concern but not catastrophic. Blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with the known fragility of this issue. Corners appear rounded at two or more corners — particularly the bottom-left and top-left — suggesting moderate wear consistent with a VG-EX (4) range. Surface shows some loss of gloss and fading in the photo area, but no creases are clearly visible from this single image; back cannot be assessed. Without corner macro shots or a back image, a range of 3–5 is appropriate, with 4 (VG-EX) as the most likely grade given the edge wear and corner rounding observed.

Centering: left blue border appears noticeably narrower than the right (~60% weight on right side), and the top border appears slightly wider than the bottom — estimated L/R roughly 40/60 and T/B roughly 55/45, which is borderline but not catastrophic. The blue borders on 1977 Topps are notorious chippers: visible chipping and wear is apparent along the top and right edges, with the bottom-left corner showing rounding and the top-right corner also softened — no truly sharp corners survive. Surface gloss appears partially retained in the photo but some dulling is evident, consistent with handling wear. No obvious crease is visible from this angle, but the card shows enough edge and corner degradation to place it comfortably in the VG-EX to EX range (4–5); the corner rounding and border chipping push the point estimate toward 4.
