1977 Topps Star Wars #64 Governor of Imperial Outlands

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom appears approximately 60/40 favoring top — acceptable for this issue but not tight. Blue border shows some visible chipping/wear along the edges, particularly noticeable on the top border where the blue shows uneven texture consistent with this issue's known border fragility. Corners appear to have light rounding — not sharp, suggesting moderate handling wear consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases visible, though the hard case and glare partially obscure fine surface detail and corner tips. The plastic case prevents a definitive corner and edge assessment; a full grade evaluation would require removal from the holder.

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 but not tight. The blue border shows visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with the known fragility of 1977 Topps Star Wars blue borders. All four corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding, with the bottom-left corner showing the most wear where it meets the starburst logo area. Surface gloss appears partially intact but shows some scuffing/dulling across the mid-card area visible in the photo. No creases are visible, which would otherwise cap this lower; border chip wear and corner rounding are the primary grade-limiting factors here, landing this squarely in the EX to VG-EX range.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The seller note 'READ' in the title and the '0hg' tag suggest self-disclosed issues; the photo's watermark obscures surface detail in the center, making crease detection difficult. The blue border shows visible chipping or wear particularly along the left and bottom edges, consistent with heavy handling. Corners appear rounded at least on the visible bottom-left corner, consistent with a VG to VG-EX grade range; surface wear noted in the seller's own banner further supports a grade cap in the 3–5 range. A back-side crease or stain cannot be ruled out from this photo alone, and the watermark prevents confident surface assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with the known fragility of this issue's blue stock. Corners appear rounded at all four points with the most wear visible at top-left and bottom-right, suggesting VG-EX to EX territory at best. Surface gloss appears partially intact in the photo image area but the card overall reads as a well-handled example; no crease is definitively confirmed from this angle though the seller title does not self-disclose one. The camera angle and distance prevent a precise corner or edge assessment — the range is widened accordingly.
