1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #13 Alec Guinness as Ben

Centering: the red die-cut border appears slightly left-heavy, estimating approximately 55/45 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom — acceptable for this issue. The sticker die-cut edge appears clean and reasonably sharp around the perimeter with no obvious chipping or border loss. Surface gloss looks solid with no visible creases or staining; the photo image on the sticker appears crisp. Corners on this die-cut format are harder to assess than on a square card, but the outer card stock corners (where present) show no obvious rounding or wear visible at this resolution — one or two corners may show very minor softening that could push this toward a 7 rather than an 8. The scan does not allow a definitive corner or edge assessment, so the range is widened accordingly; a closer inspection could move this up to 8 or reveal wear dropping it to 6.

Centering: the die-cut sticker sits within its backing card with approximately 65/35 left-to-right and 60/40 top-to-bottom margins — acceptable for this issue, which tends to wander. The blue backing card borders appear reasonably even. Corners on the backing card look relatively sharp with minimal blunting visible, though the top-right corner shows a very slight softening; die-cut sticker corners are not individually assessable for PSA grading purposes. Surface gloss appears solid with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects beyond normal vintage printing grain. Back is not visible so any paper flaws, toning, or reverse creases cannot be assessed — range is intentionally widened to account for this; a back inspection could move the grade meaningfully in either direction.

Centering on the outer card border: left/right appears approximately 55/45 and top/bottom approximately 60/40 — acceptable for grade. The die-cut sticker itself sits reasonably centered within that outer backing. Corner examination is limited by the single medium-distance shot; no obvious rounding or creasing is visible, but the upper-right corner of the outer backing card shows a very slight irregularity worth noting. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious scratches or print defects visible at this resolution. The sticker face photo is sharp and clean, but without corner macro shots or back inspection, a 5–7 range is honest — the card presents closer to EX-MT (6) with upside to NM (7) if corners prove sharper than they appear.

Centering: the die-cut sticker sits unevenly on its backing card — left border appears roughly 15% wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 T/B), centering acceptable for grade but not crisp. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range; no sharp points survive. Surface: there is a faint pink/red marking (possibly ink or wax) visible in the lower center of the image area just above the caption banner, which reads as a surface defect or light staining; gloss appears reduced overall with some cloudiness suggesting handling wear. Edges: the die-cut border shows minor chipping/fraying consistent with the age of this sticker issue, and a small top-right corner dog-ear or stress point is visible — taken together, corners, surface mark, and gloss loss push this toward PSA 3, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the surface mark is lighter than it appears.
