1977 Topps Star Wars #83 Aboard the Millennium Falcon — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left, 30-35% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — off-center but not catastrophic. The red border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with heavy handling. Corners appear rounded at all four points, most notably the upper-left and lower-right, suggesting VG-level corner wear. Surface shows significant gloss loss across the image area with visible scuffing or soiling in the lower portion of the card; a light crease cannot be ruled out near the lower center but the photo resolution is insufficient to confirm definitively. The seller's 'VG' self-assessment appears reasonable; the combination of chipped red border, rounded corners, and gloss loss points squarely to PSA 3 (VG), with PSA 2 possible if a crease is confirmed on inspection and PSA 4 only if corner and surface wear is less severe than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60/40 left-right advantage to the right side), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely miscut. The red border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with this series' known fragility. Corners appear rounded at all four points — particularly the bottom-left and top-right — consistent with a VG or VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears diminished with some overall wear and possible light handling marks visible in the dark image areas, but no obvious hard crease is confirmed from this photo alone; the seller does not self-disclose a crease. The dark, slightly hazy image limits corner and surface assessment confidence, warranting a widened range of 2–4 with a point estimate of 3 (VG).

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, roughly EX range. The red border shows some visible chipping/wear on at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right appear slightly rounded under inspection), consistent with EX (5) territory. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling but no obvious creases visible in this scan. The image is too dark and low-resolution to confidently assess edge wear, fine corner condition, or surface scratches — the range is widened accordingly; a VG-EX (4) floor accounts for possible corner rounding or unseen light crease, while EX-MT (6) is possible if corners are sharper than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top and bottom borders look roughly even (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. The red border shows visible chipping/wear at the corners, particularly the lower-left which appears to have light rounding consistent with a PSA 5 EX; the lower-right corner also looks slightly soft. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, consistent with moderate handling wear. No creases are detectable in this image, but the photo resolution and glare prevent a definitive surface assessment — back condition unknown.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with EX-range. Corners show light rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left most evident), consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no sharp razor corners but no heavy rounding either. The red border shows no dramatic chipping evident at this resolution, though the image compression makes fine chip assessment difficult. Surface gloss appears moderate — some loss consistent with handling but no obvious creases or staining are visible, supporting the seller's 'EX' self-assessment. The soft sleeve and image angle obscure edge and corner detail on the right side, widening the range; a closer look at corners could push this up to 6 or down to 4 depending on rounding severity.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for vintage but not tight. The red border shows no obvious chipping along the edges visible at this resolution, but the sleeve glare obscures the upper corners and surface detail significantly. Corners visible at bottom-left and bottom-right appear to have light rounding consistent with EX (PSA 5) territory — no sharp points but no severe blunting either. Surface gloss appears partially intact but the glare prevents a clean read; no creases are visible, which is consistent with the seller's 'EX' self-assessment. The photo is too obstructed by glare for confident corner and surface assessment, widening the range; a grade of 5 EX is the most likely outcome, with 6 possible if corners are cleaner than they appear.
