The Droids Try to Rescue Luke! - 1977 Topps Star Wars #87 Mi
Estimated grade: 2 (1–3) · MEDIUM confidence · asking —

This card is visibly MISCUT — a sliver of an adjacent card's printing is clearly visible along the bottom edge, confirming the seller's self-disclosed miscut. PSA treats miscuts as grade-capping defects, typically capping the numeric estimate at 2-3 regardless of other surface qualities. Centering left/right appears approximately 70/30 favoring left, and top/bottom is roughly 60/40 favoring top, but the miscut dominates the assessment and overwhelms standard centering analysis. The red border shows some edge chipping consistent with the series; corners appear moderately worn with some rounding visible, consistent with a grade-2 to grade-3 card. Surface gloss and print quality appear fair under the sleeve glare, but the miscut is the decisive flaw here — miscuts do carry a separate error-collector premium, which may affect resale value independently of the raw grade.
