1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #29 Han Solo...hero or mercenary? — Raw

Centering: left film-strip border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears marginally tighter than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably close but not perfect. Corners: all four corners show slight blunting/softening visible at this resolution, no sharp points evident, consistent with light handling wear placing this in the EX-MT to NM range. Surface: the sticker face appears to retain decent gloss with no obvious creases, scratches, or print defects visible through the case; minor toning possible on the cream border areas but hard to confirm through the plastic. Edges: the hard case obscures edge inspection and back is not visible; the case also compresses the ability to assess corner sharpness fully, so the range is intentionally widened — a closer look at corners and back could shift this up to 7 or down to 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not a major grade killer. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding/wear, most apparent on the bottom-left and bottom-right corners, consistent with handled vintage material. Edges: the white border edges show some wear and minor soiling, particularly along the bottom edge. Surface: the image area shows some light spotting/freckling and minor gloss loss but no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo; however, the photo angle and lighting are not ideal for detecting subtle surface creases. Overall condition profile points to a VG-EX range (PSA 4), with the rounded corners being the primary grade limiter; a hidden crease could push toward PSA 3.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border appears tighter than bottom (~60/40 T/B), no miscut detected. The black film-strip border shows no obvious chipping from what is visible, but the glare along both vertical edges obscures those border corners. The upper-left corner area shows a faint yellowish toning/stain patch that is the most notable surface flaw visible; this alone likely prevents a grade above 7. Corners appear to have very slight softening — not sharp enough for NM-MT 8 territory — consistent with a 6 EX-MT to 7 NM range. Surface gloss appears moderate with no visible creases, supporting at least an EX grade; the seller's 'pack fresh' claim is optimistic given the visible toning.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 55/45 (slightly left-heavy) and top/bottom approximately 60/40 (top-heavy), both within NM-MT range. The film-strip style black border appears intact with no visible chipping. Corners appear reasonably sharp in this photo — no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the scan does not allow tight corner closeup inspection. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or staining, consistent with the seller's NM claim. The sticker peel-back condition cannot be assessed from this front-only image, and the back/adhesive condition is unknown, which is a meaningful variable for sticker grades; these factors introduce downward uncertainty, hence the range floor of 6.
