1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #27 A closer look at a "Jawa"

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left; top/bottom appears close to 55/45 favoring top — within NM-MT range on both axes. The sticker image itself sits well within the filmstrip border frame. Corners appear relatively sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though sleeve glare obscures the lower two corners making a definitive assessment difficult. Surface gloss on the sticker image looks intact with no visible creases, and the black filmstrip border shows no obvious chipping or wear — a known issue on this set. The seller's NM/MT claim is plausible but cannot be confirmed to 8 without clear corner and edge views free of glare; range reflects uncertainty introduced by the sleeve obstruction.

Seller title includes 'READ' which typically signals disclosed condition issues, and the image caption explicitly notes 'staining' — a serious surface defect that alone can cap a grade at PSA 2-3. Centering: the sticker image within its frame appears roughly centered left/right (approximately 50/50) and slightly tight at top (estimated 55/45 T/B), which is acceptable, but sticker centering within the card borders is harder to judge precisely from this scan. Surface staining is confirmed by the seller note and appears plausible given the overall scan quality and color inconsistency in the lower portion of the sticker. Corners and edges cannot be assessed with confidence due to the COMC watermark, scan distance, and lack of corner close-ups — widening the range accordingly. If staining is moderate and confined, a PSA 3 is plausible; heavy or multiple stain spots could push this to PSA 2.
