1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #13 Alec Guinness as Ben

Centering on the card stock (outside the die-cut sticker itself) appears left-heavy — estimated left border roughly 55-60% vs. right border 40-45%, top/bottom closer to 50/50; the die-cut sticker centering within the card looks reasonable but the card border asymmetry is noticeable. Corners on the card stock are not sharply visible at this resolution but appear to show only minor rounding at worst — consistent with NM to NM-MT range. The red die-cut border and yellow caption band show no obvious chipping, creasing, or gloss loss visible at this resolution. Surface appears clean with no staining or print defects apparent; however, the photo does not allow close-up corner or edge inspection, so wear may be concealed — range widened accordingly.

Centering: the red die-cut border appears reasonably well centered left-to-right, perhaps 55/45 L/R; the top margin of the card backing appears slightly tighter than the bottom, estimating roughly 60/40 T/B — acceptable for this issue. Corners: the four corners of the card stock (not the die-cut) appear intact with only very subtle softening visible on the lower-right corner; no obvious blunting or rounding. Edges: the card edges look clean with no visible nicks or major chips to the red border. Surface: the photo sticker itself shows no visible creases, scratches, or major print defects, and gloss appears largely intact, though fine surface wear cannot be fully ruled out at this resolution — the die-cut sticker's own border shows no significant chipping. The back and corner micro-detail are unverifiable from this single front photo, widening the range.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring the left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for the grade range. All four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the bottom-left corner shows the slightest hint of softness. The red die-cut border and yellow caption area show no evident chips, tears, or significant edge wear. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining, and print quality looks clean; however, the single flat scan does not reveal back condition, fine corner tips at high magnification, or subtle surface scratches that could push the grade lower. Seller's NM claim is plausible but a point grade of 7 NM is the conservative estimate pending closer inspection.

Centering: the die-cut red sticker border appears slightly left-heavy and top-heavy relative to the dark backing card — left/right roughly 55/45 and top/bottom roughly 60/40, acceptable for the grade range. The sticker surface itself shows good color saturation and gloss with no visible creases. Corners on the die-cut portion appear intact with only very light wear visible at the lower-left and lower-right tips, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. The backing card edges show some minor surface scuffing and the blue-black border shows slight chipping on the left edge consistent with normal 1977 Star Wars handling wear. No print defects, staining, or writing visible; back not shown so hidden flaws (creases, sticker peel) cannot be ruled out, warranting a widened range.
