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

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears noticeably larger than bottom (~60-65% top) — rough read suggests approximately 60/40 L/R and 65/35 T/B, which would be acceptable for PSA 7-8 range if confirmed. The blue border is the primary grading concern for this series; visible chipping or wear on the blue edges is difficult to fully assess through the case glare, but no dramatic edge damage is apparent. Corners cannot be evaluated with confidence as all four are obscured or in shadow near the case edges — this is the single biggest limitation of this photo. Surface appears to have reasonable gloss with no obvious creases or staining visible through the glare. The wide grade range (4-7) reflects genuine uncertainty caused by the case obstruction hiding corners and edges; a raw hand-examination or a photo outside the case would be needed to narrow this significantly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T-B), suggesting moderate off-center but not severely so — within EX-EX-MT range on that axis alone. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, which is the primary grade-limiting factor for this series. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding at all four tips, consistent with an EX grade; no single corner looks sharp enough for NM territory. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling, no obvious creases visible, and print quality looks typical for the issue with no gross snow or defects noted. The perspective angle and lack of corner macro shots prevent confident assessment of edge chipping severity, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left blue border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border, and top border appears slightly wider than bottom — approximate L/R ~55/45 to 60/40, T/B ~55/45, centering is acceptable but not tight. Blue borders on this series chip readily; the right border and bottom-right corner area show what appears to be light chipping/wear consistent with EX-level use, and the bottom-left corner looks slightly soft. Surface gloss appears partially intact but some dulling is visible across the image area, suggesting moderate handling. No visible creases or staining, but corner sharpness is reduced on at least two corners, placing this card in the EX to EX-MT range (PSA 5–6); the blue border chipping and corner softness are the primary grade limiters.

Centering estimate: left blue border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably good for the issue, no severe wander. Blue borders on all four sides show some chipping/wear, most notably on the left and bottom edges where the blue appears slightly ragged, consistent with typical handling wear for this chippy border stock. Corners: upper-left and lower-right show the most visible softening/slight rounding at this resolution; upper-right appears the sharpest. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or major scratches, though the sleeve glare limits full surface assessment. Overall condition reads EX-MT (6) with the corner and border wear holding it back from NM territory; a 7 is possible if corners are sharper than they appear here.
