1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #3 Han Solo

Centering: the green border appears left-heavy — left border roughly 60% wider than right, top border moderately wider than bottom, estimating L/R ~65/35 and T/B ~60/40, consistent with NM range but not ideal. The die-cut edges look clean with no obvious chipping or peeling along the sticker border. Corners are difficult to assess at this resolution but show no obvious rounding or soft wear; they appear reasonably sharp on all four points. Surface gloss looks intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects, though the photo is not a close-up macro shot so fine corner or surface wear cannot be ruled out. The back is not visible, and the adhesive condition of the sticker — a critical factor for this issue — cannot be assessed from this image, which widens the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border ~35%, right border ~65% left-to-right; top border ~30%, bottom ~70% top-to-bottom — noticeably off-center both axes, consistent with typical 1977 sticker production variance but meaningful. All four corners show visible rounding and wear — no sharp points remain, consistent with a VG-EX or lower grade. Surface shows scattered scuffs, scratches and general gloss loss across the image area, most visible in the lower-left quadrant and upper-right corner where the black border has chipped. No obvious hard crease is visible from this photo but surface distress cannot be ruled out on the back. The die-cut green border is intact with no tears; the two-asterisk copyright line suggests O-Pee-Chee printing but cannot be confirmed from the front.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 55/45 (slightly left-heavy) and top/bottom approximately 55/45 — well within NM-MT tolerance for this notoriously off-center issue. The die-cut green border appears intact with no visible chipping or fraying along the sticker edge, which is encouraging. Corner inspection is partially obscured by the sleeve, but the two visible upper corners appear reasonably sharp with only minimal softening if any; lower corners are harder to assess under the case shadow. Surface gloss looks good with strong color saturation and no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible; the yellow caption band is clean. The sleeve glare and top-loader prevent confident corner and edge assessment, widening the range — a NM 7 point estimate reflects solid apparent condition with the caveat that corner tips on raw stickers of this age frequently show light wear not visible at this resolution.

Centering: the green die-cut border appears reasonably centered left-to-right, perhaps 55/45 L/R; top-to-bottom looks slightly tight at top, roughly 60/40 T/B — no severe centering issue. Corners: at this photo resolution the corners look intact with no obvious rounding or fraying, but the die-cut sticker format makes precise corner assessment difficult; at least two corners appear sharp, the lower corners are harder to assess. Surface: gloss appears present and reasonable with no visible creases, staining, or print defects detected; the image is clean. Edges: the die-cut perimeter looks intact with no visible chips or tears to the green border. The two-asterisk copyright line is consistent with O-Pee-Chee Canadian printing but cannot be confirmed from this side alone; either way the card identity is correct. Without corner macro shots or a back view, a range of 5–7 is appropriate, with EX-MT (6) as the most likely grade.
