1977 Topps Star Wars #60 Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin — Raw

Centering estimate: left blue border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L-R favoring left), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophically so for this notoriously wandering set. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding/softening, most evident at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges: blue border shows minor chipping consistent with typical 1977 Star Wars handling; no major nicks visible but resolution limits confidence. Surface: gloss appears moderate with some wear/lightening visible; no obvious creases detected from this angle but the image does not allow a definitive crease check across the full surface. Overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) with the possibility of EX-MT (6) if corners are sharper than they appear, or VG-EX (4) if light surface creasing is present on closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 — centering is acceptable for this series but not tight. Blue border shows visible chipping and wear consistent with this notoriously fragile stock, particularly evident along the top edge and upper-left corner. All four corners show rounding — at least two corners (top-left and top-right) display moderate rounding visible at this resolution, suggesting the card has seen real handling. Surface shows scattered scratches and scuffs across the image area, with some loss of gloss visible; no creases are clearly confirmed but surface wear is notable. Overall wear profile points to a VG-EX (4) card, with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better in hand and no crease is confirmed on the back.

Centering estimate: left blue border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is not ideal but not severely off-condition. Heavy glare from the hard case obscures the upper-center surface, making it impossible to assess print defects, surface scratches, or gloss loss in that region. The blue border shows what appears to be minor chipping along the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical handling wear for this issue. Corners are difficult to read under glare but the bottom-left and bottom-right corners appear to show some rounding, suggesting wear in the EX to VG-EX range; top corners are obscured. Given the visible border wear and apparent corner softness, a range of PSA 4–7 is honest with a point estimate of 5 (EX), but the range must stay wide because the slab glare hides critical surface and corner detail.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. The blue border shows visible chipping/wear on at least two corners visible through the sleeve, suggesting rounding consistent with VG-EX or lower. Surface assessment is hampered by heavy sleeve scratching and glare, but some wear or possible light creasing cannot be ruled out beneath the glare. The condition appears consistent with a raw PSA 3-5 range, with 4 (VG-EX) as the most likely estimate pending a clean inspection of corners and surface without the sleeve.

Centering estimate: left blue border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophic. The blue borders show visible chipping/wear along all edges, most notably on the left and bottom edges, which is characteristic and grade-limiting for this series. Corner tips appear rounded on at least two corners visible (lower-left and upper-left), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some loss; no obvious creases are detectable from this photo, but the dark image and angle prevent confident corner and surface assessment. Overall condition indicators point to a raw grade of 4 (VG-EX) as most likely, with the worn blue border chipping being the primary grade limiter.
