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

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — acceptable for this issue. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is encouraging for a 1977 sticker. Corners are the critical unknown: the top-loader and sleeve glare obscure all four corners, making precise corner assessment impossible from this image. Surface appears to have reasonable gloss with no obvious creases, print defects, or staining visible in the image area, consistent with the seller's NM-MT claim, but the glare prevents confirmation. Range is widened due to corner and edge information being hidden by the holder; a closer raw photo would be needed to tighten the estimate.

The shallow camera angle makes precise centering measurement unreliable; the yellow border appears moderately wide on the left and top, narrower on the right and bottom, suggesting left-right centering is roughly 60/40 and top-bottom perhaps 65/35, consistent with a PSA 7 or better centering allowance, but the angle prevents a confident call. Corner detail is largely obscured by the perspective and soft focus — no obvious rounded corners or creasing are visible, but micro-wear on the corners cannot be ruled out. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear visible in this view. Surface gloss appears intact with no creases detected, though the dark image area hides print defects well; a front-on, sharper photo of corners is essential before committing to a grade tighter than the 4–7 range given here.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), which is acceptable for this issue but leans toward the 7 or below range. Corners appear reasonably intact with no obvious rounding visible at this photo resolution, though fine corner wear cannot be ruled out. Surface gloss looks present and image appears clean with no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond typical Star Wars sticker production quality. The sticker die-cut edge and yellow border appear intact without obvious chipping; back and corner micro-detail cannot be assessed from this single front photo, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border ~18%, right border ~22%, top border ~15%, bottom border ~45% (bottom-heavy due to copyright strip) — left/right approximately 55/45, top/bottom roughly 70/30 or worse, the bottom caption/border area is notably wide relative to the top image area. Corners show visible rounding at all four corners, most pronounced at the top-left and bottom-right, suggesting this card has seen meaningful handling. Surface shows multiple fine scratches/scuffs visible under the scan lighting across the image area, indicating gloss loss and surface wear that alone would suppress the grade. Edges appear reasonably intact without heavy fraying but are not crisp; the overall condition package of rounded corners plus notable surface scratching points to a VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible only if the scratches are largely scanner artifacts, and VG (3) a real possibility if surface wear is as significant as it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for the issue but not tight. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear, though some light wear is apparent at the edges. Corners appear to have mild rounding rather than sharp points — consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no corner is visibly blunted or frayed but none appears razor sharp. Surface gloss appears present but slightly muted, no visible creases from this angle, and no staining or print defects noted. The seller's 'VG-EX' self-assessment aligns reasonably with what is visible; back condition and peeled/unpeeled sticker status cannot be assessed from this image, which is a meaningful unknown for sticker grading and is the primary reason the range is widened.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. The yellow border shows no obvious heavy chipping but image resolution prevents confirming edge condition with confidence. Corners appear to have some rounding — front-left and bottom-right corners look slightly soft rather than razor-sharp, consistent with a grade in the EX to NM range. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases or staining visible, but the photo quality and glare obscure fine surface wear. A wider range is warranted given the single low-resolution front-only photo; back condition and sticker peel status are unknown and could materially affect the grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for the grade range. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips, most pronounced at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or major chipping of the yellow border, though some minor edge softness is present. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, no obvious creases detected from this view, but the image does not provide tight corner close-ups, so hidden micro-creasing cannot be ruled out; back condition also unknown.
