1977 Topps Star Wars #84 Rebel pilot prepares for the raid!

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. The red border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, consistent with typical handling wear for this series. Corners appear rounded on at least two visible corners (bottom-left and top-right are notably soft), suggesting VG-EX territory at best. Surface shows some scratching or scuffing visible in the image area, and there is a possible light crease or surface stress mark near the top-right corner area, though this is difficult to confirm definitively from a single front photo. No staining or writing is apparent; gloss is partially retained but diminished. The back is unseen, which widens the range — a hidden crease or staining could push this to a 3.

Centering estimate: left border ~15%, right border ~20%, top border ~25%, bottom border ~40% — the card runs noticeably short on the bottom (caption/logo area) relative to the top, putting top/bottom at roughly 60/40 in the unfavorable direction; left/right is close to 55/45. The red border shows visible chipping/wear on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-right appear soft and slightly rounded under inspection), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears reduced but not absent — some cloudiness or scuffing is suggested in the mid-image area though the scan resolution limits certainty. No obvious creases are visible, which keeps this out of VG (3) territory, but the corner wear and centering issues prevent a clean EX-MT (6) call. A grade of 4 (VG-EX) is the most likely outcome with 5 (EX) possible if corners are cleaner in hand than they appear here.
