1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #12 Han and Chewbacca — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top border wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-bottom), so centering is off but not catastrophic. The red die-cut border shows visible wear and chipping along multiple edges, particularly at the lower left and lower right where the red border appears scuffed and abraded. Surface shows clear gloss loss and what appears to be light rubbing or handling wear across the sticker face. Corners on this die-cut sticker format are harder to assess precisely, but the lower corners appear rounded and worn. The overall presentation — edge wear, gloss loss, and surface abrasion — is consistent with a PSA 3 VG grade, with a range of 2-4 depending on back condition and any creasing not visible in this photo.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for the grade range. The red die-cut sticker sits on a backing card; the backing card itself shows some surface wear and possible light handling on the edges. Corner detail is obscured by the soft focus but at least one or two corners appear to show mild rounding or wear consistent with a PSA 4-5 range. The sticker itself looks to have decent gloss with no obvious creases visible, but the image resolution prevents confident corner assessment. No major staining, tears, or writing observed; grade is capped at 6 due to visible surface wear on the backing card and inability to confirm sharp corners from this photo.

Centering: Left/right borders appear approximately 65/35 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 favoring top — borderline but within EX-MT range horizontally, slightly off vertically. Corners: The visible corners show mild-to-moderate rounding, consistent with an EX grade; no sharp points remain but no severe rounding either. Surface: The sticker face shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the sticker format and age make surface assessment difficult from a single photo. Edges: The red die-cut border appears intact with no obvious chipping or tears; the yellow title banner looks clean. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment, and the sticker substrate is more susceptible to hidden surface issues than a standard card.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for this set. The sticker die-cut shape dominates the card face; the outer dark border appears intact on all four sides with no visible adjacent-card printing. Corner wear is the key unknown — at this resolution the corners appear to have light wear consistent with EX-MT to NM range, with no obvious hard creasing visible. Surface gloss appears moderate with some light wear or handling evident on the sticker face; the dark borders of this set are prone to chipping and there appears to be minor edge/border wear. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment; the seller's EX-MT claim aligns with the visible evidence, but corner closeups could push this up or down.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 favoring top — within NM-MT range on centering alone. The red die-cut border appears intact with no visible chips or tears along the sticker edge. Corners on the card stock itself look slightly soft but not heavily rounded, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably well-preserved with no obvious creases visible, though the photo does not allow close corner inspection. No miscut detected. The sticker itself shows no peeling or lifting at edges. Primary uncertainty is corner sharpness and any hidden surface wear not resolvable at this scan resolution.

Centering estimate: the sticker sits within a backing card; left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 — acceptable for vintage. The red die-cut sticker itself appears well-centered on the backing card. Corners on the backing card look reasonably sharp with only minor softening visible at the upper left and lower right corners suggesting light wear. Surface gloss appears present with no visible creases in this photo, though the sleeve creates some reflective interference making definitive surface assessment difficult. The 'red error' noted by the seller likely refers to the red border outline variant which is a known sticker variant from this series and is not a flaw but a collectible error — this does not negatively impact grade and may add collector value. Range widened slightly due to inability to assess card back and corner tips under magnification through the sleeve.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for the set. The red die-cut border shows no obvious chipping or major edge damage visible at this resolution. Corners appear lightly worn with some minor rounding evident on at least two corners (lower left and upper right show softening), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the photo angle and scan quality may obscure fine surface wear. The sticker format with die-cut red border is typical for this issue; no miscut detected. Without corner macro shots or back inspection, range is widened slightly downward to account for hidden wear.
