1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #11 Battle in outer space! — Raw

The low-angle perspective shot severely limits grading accuracy. Centering estimation: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom cannot be reliably assessed due to the angle — ratios are rough estimates only. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear in the visible portions, which is promising for this issue. Corners cannot be assessed individually with confidence due to the perspective distortion; the near corners appear to have some minor rounding but no catastrophic damage is visible. Surface gloss appears present but the angle prevents assessment of print defects or scratches. A straight-on scan or photograph would be needed to narrow this range meaningfully.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 65/35 favoring top — within acceptable range but not tight. Yellow border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear to have modest rounding but no dramatic blunting — consistent with EX-MT to NM range; corner detail is obscured somewhat by sleeve glare. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible in the image area. The sticker is unpeeled which is a positive indicator, but sleeve glare conceals fine edge and corner detail that could push the grade lower; range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 75/25 (notably right-heavy shift) and top/bottom roughly 70/30, placing centering in the EX-VG-EX range. The yellow border shows some unevenness consistent with the wandering centering typical of this issue. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding visible at the bottom corners especially, consistent with EX (5) handling; top corners are harder to assess due to image glare. Surface shows scattered light scratches or scuffs visible across the black image area, with modest gloss loss — no obvious hard creases are visible but the photo resolution and glare prevent ruling them out entirely. The seller's 'EX' self-description aligns with what the photo shows; a PSA 5 EX is the most likely outcome, with 4 (VG-EX) possible if corner rounding or hidden surface wear is more pronounced than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners appear lightly rounded on all four, most noticeable at the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting moderate handling wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows some minor gloss loss and possible light handling marks but no visible creases from this photo; the yellow sticker border does not show obvious chipping. The CoMC watermark and modest image resolution obscure fine surface and corner detail, warranting a widened range — a closer examination could push this up to a 6 if corners are sharper than they appear, or down to a 4 if light surface creasing is present on back.

Centering: left yellow border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — acceptable for the series. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution; no obvious blunting or rounding is visible, though a true close-up corner inspection is impossible from this scan. Surface: gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible; the image area looks clean and well-registered. Edges: appear clean with no chipping of the yellow border evident, though sticker edges are harder to assess without a macro shot — the overall presentation supports a NM range (7), with 8 possible if corners hold up under magnification.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 favoring top — within NM-MT range on both axes. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping or significant wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear reasonably sharp but the scan/photo does not allow close inspection of all four tips; the bottom-right corner shows a very slight hint of softness that warrants caution. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining; print quality looks clean with good color saturation. The sticker peel integrity cannot be assessed from this image, which is a meaningful unknown for the sticker subset specifically.
