1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #21 The Millennium Falcon speeds through space!

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — centering is acceptable for NM range. The red sticker border shows no obvious chipping or surface breaks visible at this resolution. Corners appear reasonably sharp with no prominent rounding visible at any of the four points, though the scan resolution limits precise corner inspection — at least two corners look clean, the lower corners are harder to assess definitively. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects noted; the image itself is well-centered within the sticker die-cut. The back and edges cannot be evaluated from this single front scan, which is the primary source of uncertainty keeping the ceiling at 8 rather than higher.

Centering estimate: left red border appears roughly 10-11% wider than right, top border slightly heavier than bottom — approximate L/R ~55/45, T/B ~55/45, within NM-MT range. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this scan distance but the low-resolution single photo prevents definitive corner assessment; no obvious rounding visible but micro-wear cannot be ruled out. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining; the image area looks clean with good color saturation. The red border shows no obvious chipping or fraying along edges, though edge condition on all four sides is difficult to confirm precisely from this single front-only scan — a back inspection and corner loupe would be needed to confirm above a 7.

Centering estimate: the blue border appears wider on the left (~55%) vs. right (~45%) and top (~55%) vs. bottom (~45%), suggesting moderate but not severe miscentering — roughly 55/45 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which alone would not cap the grade. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, particularly the bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a VG-EX (4) to EX (5) range. Surface: the blue border shows chipping and fraying along the top edge — characteristic of the 1977 Topps blue-series borders — and there is notable toning/soiling on the border. Gloss loss is evident across the surface. No creases are clearly visible from this photo, but the overall wear pattern and border chipping suggest heavy handling, placing this solidly in the VG-EX to EX range; back and corner macro shots would be needed to refine further.
