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

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55% top) — left/right ratio approximately 65/35, which alone would push toward NM or lower; combined with visible blue border chipping this is not a minor issue. Blue borders show visible wear and chipping along all four edges, most notably the top and left edges. Corners appear softly rounded rather than sharp — at least two corners show visible rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and a possible light handling crease in the lower portion of the image, though the photo angle makes definitive crease confirmation difficult. The card presents as honest raw vintage wear; no writing, staining, or tears visible, but corner rounding and border chipping combined with off-centering make a grade above 5 unlikely and below 3 unlikely absent a confirmed crease.

Centering estimate from visible borders: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear consistent with this issue's known vulnerability, with the top border showing the most color loss/whitening along the edge. Corners appear rounded at all four tips, most noticeably at the bottom two, suggesting moderate handling wear consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/dullness across the photo area with reduced gloss, but no obvious hard creases are visible from this angle — though the holder and glare prevent a confident crease call. The plastic holder obscures precise corner and edge detail; a raw-card close-up would tighten this range considerably.

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 and not a major grade driver here. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars handling wear. Corners appear rounded with noticeable wear — not sharp, consistent with a VG-EX (4) to EX (5) range; no corner is crisp enough for a 6 or higher. Surface gloss is partially retained but dulled, and there is no obvious crease visible in this photo, though the back is unseen and seller's estimate of 4-5 aligns with the front presentation. The card back is not shown, which limits confidence — a hidden crease or stain could push this toward a 3.

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 borders on this series are notorious for chipping, and visible chipping/wear is evident along the left and bottom borders particularly; some whitening is apparent on at least two corners suggesting light rounding. Surface shows moderate toning/yellowing on the image area consistent with vintage age, and the card face appears to have reduced gloss. No creases are clearly visible from this angle, but the image is not sharp enough to rule out light surface crease or staining. The combination of border chipping, corner wear, and gloss loss points to EX (5) as the most likely grade, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners and surface hold up on close inspection, and VG-EX (4) possible if there is hidden corner rounding or a soft crease not visible here.
