1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #3 Han Solo

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B), which is acceptable but not tight. Corners appear mostly sharp with possible very light wear on the bottom corners that is difficult to confirm at this resolution. The green border shows no obvious chipping or significant edge wear visible from this scan angle. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects noted, though scan compression may obscure fine surface issues; back condition is unknown and could affect final grade.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — within acceptable range for vintage Star Wars stickers which were notoriously inconsistent. The green border appears intact without obvious chipping visible from this angle, which is the primary grade-killer on 1977 Topps Star Wars stickers. Surface image shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, consistent with the seller's EX-NM claim. However, corner detail is significantly obscured by the hard case walls — cannot assess corner wear with confidence, which is the single biggest uncertainty here; corners could range from lightly rounded (EX/5) to sharp (NM/7). The plastic case glare also obscures the upper portion of the card preventing full surface assessment, so the range is necessarily wide pending a proper out-of-case inspection.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring the left slightly, top/bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 — within NM-MT range on both axes, no obvious OC issue. Corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution with no obvious rounding visible on any of the four corners, though the upper-left corner shows a very slight softness that is difficult to confirm definitively. The green border shows no obvious chipping or edge wear, and the surface gloss appears well-retained with no visible creases. The sticker die-cut edges look clean and properly cut with no miscut indicators. Back condition is unknown from this single-front photo; sticker cards of this era frequently show adhesive residue or peeling on reverse which can cap the grade, so the range is widened downward to account for that uncertainty.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 (slightly left-heavy), top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for this set. A watermark/stamp obscures the center of the image, making surface evaluation difficult; the seller notes 'READ' in the title suggesting a disclosed flaw, and the note reads 'surface substance.' Corners are difficult to evaluate precisely due to the stamp obstruction, but the visible green border edges appear reasonably intact without obvious chipping or heavy rounding. The gloss appears present but the undisclosed surface substance (possibly a stain or adhesive residue) is the primary grade-limiting concern, potentially capping this card in the EX to VG-EX range pending full inspection of the surface defect.
