1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #23 David Prowse as Darth Vader — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — centering is off but not severely so. The card shows visible toning and yellowing on the white border areas, consistent with age. Corners appear rounded, particularly the lower-left and lower-right corners, suggesting handling wear consistent with a VG-range card. The surface shows some gloss loss and there is general dinginess to the image area. A possible light crease or surface wrinkle is suggested in the lower portion of the image but cannot be confirmed definitively due to photo quality and angle; if a crease is present, the grade would lean toward the lower end of this range (2-3).

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — acceptable for this set. Corners: upper-left and upper-right corners appear reasonably sharp but show slight softening; lower corners are harder to fully assess due to shadow and angle but no obvious rounding or creasing visible. Surface: gloss appears intact with no obvious scratches or print defects visible; the film-strip black border shows no significant chipping which is the main vulnerability for this set. Edges: appear clean and reasonably well-cut with no miscut indicators. The photo does not allow full corner or back inspection, so the range is widened accordingly — a closer look at the lower corners could push this toward a 5 or lift it toward a 7.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 7-8 range. The filmstrip black border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear reasonably sharp with no gross rounding evident, though the photo angle and sleeve glare obscure fine corner detail on the top-left and bottom edges. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, though the image compression and mild glare prevent a confident assessment of print defects or subtle surface wear. Given the sticker nature of this card (stickers are susceptible to adhesive-side issues not visible here) and the limitations of a single front photo, the range is widened; honest estimate centers on PSA 7 NM with upside to 8 if corners and back are clean.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60-65% top), suggesting roughly 60/40 L/R and 65/35 T/B — acceptable for the grade range but not pristine. The blue border shows no immediately obvious heavy chipping, though the holder edges obscure the corners and border tips, preventing a reliable corner assessment. Surface gloss appears moderate with some fading or age-related dulling visible in the scan, consistent with a card in the EX to NM range. The filmstrip sticker image itself looks intact with no visible creases from this photo, but the FAIR image quality and holder obstruction prevent confident corner and edge evaluation, widening the range accordingly.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 — centering is off but not severely so, roughly 60/40 L/R. Surface shows multiple fine scratches or scuffs visible across the sticker face under the image, which is a meaningful surface defect for this grade range. Corners appear to show some rounding and wear, particularly visible at the lower corners, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. The card has yellowed/toned white border stock typical of the era. The back is not visible, so any creases, staining, or paper flaws on the reverse cannot be assessed — range is widened accordingly. Overall the surface scratching is the primary grade-limiter here, placing the point estimate at 4 (VG-EX).

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for this set but not tight. The black filmstrip borders show some visible chipping/wear along the edges, particularly noticeable on the bottom edge, consistent with this set's known border fragility. Corners appear to have light rounding — not sharp but not severely rounded — suggesting EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears present but slightly muted, with no obvious creases visible in this image. Back condition, sticker integrity (whether the sticker has been peeled or remains intact), and closer corner inspection are not assessable from this single photo, which widens the range.
