1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #2 Princess Leia Organa — Raw

Centering on the die-cut sticker itself appears reasonably well-centered within its black backing card — left/right roughly 55/45 and top/bottom approximately 60/40 — but the die-cut nature of stickers makes traditional border-ratio centering less applicable than on base cards. Surface glare from the hard plastic holder obscures fine detail, particularly across the upper-left quadrant, making it impossible to fully assess gloss retention or surface scratches. Corners on the sticker's die-cut edge show what appears to be light-to-moderate rounding or fraying consistent with an EX range (5), though the holder prevents close inspection. No obvious creases are visible through the glare, and the color saturation looks reasonably intact, but the image quality is insufficient to rule out hidden surface wear or sticker-edge damage that could push this into VG-EX (4) territory.

Centering on the sticker face appears reasonably balanced left/right (roughly 55/45) but the die-cut border is uneven and there is noticeable narrowing on the right side (~60/40 at best). Surface shows at least two visible white scuff/debris spots on the photo area (one near the upper-right of Leia's head, one mid-right), which read as surface wear or paper loss rather than simple dirt — these are grade-limiting. The right-side die-cut edge shows some roughness and possible paper stress. Corners cannot be fully assessed on a die-cut sticker in the traditional sense, but the outer border edges show light chipping and wear consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. No creases are visible but the surface blemishes prevent a clean EX-MT grade; the sticker grades realistically in the 3–5 range with 4 (VG-EX) as the most likely point grade.

Centering on the sticker itself within the green die-cut border appears roughly 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom, which is acceptable for this issue. Corners of the sticker die-cut show visible rounding and softening, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. The top-left area of the green border shows a notable nick or tear/chip, and there is general edge wear around the die-cut perimeter. Surface gloss appears moderately reduced with some light soiling or toning visible; no obvious heavy crease is detected from this image, though the photo angle and sleeve may be obscuring fine surface defects. Given the corner rounding, border chip, and gloss loss, a straight grade of 4 (VG-EX) is most likely, with 5 possible if surface is cleaner than it appears.

Centering on the sticker itself within its green die-cut border appears roughly 60/40 left-to-right and 65/35 top-to-bottom — acceptable for the issue. The die-cut green border shows some edge chipping or slight roughness particularly along the upper left arc, consistent with typical handling wear for this sticker type. Corners on the underlying card (the backing card visible around the sticker) show light rounding at the lower left and upper right, suggesting EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss on the photo portion appears intact with no obvious creases visible, though the scan quality and glare prevent definitive assessment of fine scratches or print defects. The sticker itself and its backing card together place this in the EX (5) range, with upside to EX-MT (6) if corners are cleaner than they appear, and downside to VG-EX (4) if edge chipping on the die-cut border is more pronounced in hand.

Centering (left/right): the green die-cut border appears slightly wider on the left (~55%) than the right (~45%), acceptable for this issue. Top/bottom: the top border looks modestly wider than the bottom, roughly 55/45 — no severe miscut detected. Corner tips appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (upper-right and lower-right look soft), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases or staining visible; the photo image is crisp and color is strong. The die-cut edge is cleanly punched with no apparent nicks or tears along the shaped border, though the lower-left die-cut area is partially obscured by the caption banner overlap. Cannot assess the sticker back or perform corner macro inspection from this single seller photo, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering on the sticker itself (within the die-cut): left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top and bottom borders appear fairly even (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for the grade range. The die-cut green border shows no obvious chips or tears visible at this resolution, though the edge of the die-cut at upper-left appears slightly irregular, which is common for this issue and not penalized heavily. Corners on the photo insert portion look intact with no obvious rounding visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects; however the single seller photo does not allow inspection of the back, edges up close, or corner microdetail, warranting a widened range.
