1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #31 Princess Leia comforts Luke! — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering looks acceptable in the NM-MT to EX-MT range. Corners appear to have light rounding visible on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with EX-MT to EX grade; no razor-sharp corners confirmed. Surface shows no obvious creases or heavy wear, but the COMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the card face, preventing full gloss and print defect assessment. Edges appear reasonably clean with no flagrant chipping or fraying visible, but the film-strip die-cut border on stickers makes edge assessment more forgiving; the COMC stamp is the primary limiter to a confident grade call here.

Centering estimate: the black film-strip border appears roughly 65/35 left-to-right (slightly left-heavy) and approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom, consistent with NM-MT range for centering alone. Corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution but soft detail at the extreme corners prevents a confident call — no obvious rounding is visible but micro-wear cannot be ruled out from a single non-macro photo. Surface gloss looks intact with no obvious creasing, staining, or print defects visible; the image is clean and well-focused. The seller's NM claim is plausible but without corner closeups or back imagery, a range of 6–8 is warranted, with 7 (NM) as the most defensible single estimate.

Centering: the film-strip border appears approximately 65/35 left-to-right and roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom, within NM-MT range on centering alone. Corners appear lightly worn with minor rounding visible on at least the upper-left and lower-right corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM condition. The sticker surface shows no obvious creases or staining but gloss level is difficult to assess precisely from this scan; there is mild softness to the image that could indicate light surface wear or simply scan compression. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious chipping to the film-strip border, though the dark border makes fine edge chips hard to detect; back condition and corner sharpness under magnification are unknown, widening the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable for this issue. The film-strip die-cut edges appear intact with no obvious chips or tears along the perforations. Surface gloss looks decent with no obvious creases visible, though the photo angle and sleeve reflection make a definitive surface call difficult. Corner detail is partially obscured by the sleeve but no severe rounding is apparent; this card appears to sit in the EX-MT to NM range pending a closer look at corners and back condition.

Centering estimate: the black film-strip border appears noticeably tighter on the left than the right (~70/30 L/R) and slightly tighter on the top than the bottom (~55/45 T/B) — left/right offset is the primary concern. Corners appear to show light rounding at all four tips, most visible at upper-left and lower-right, consistent with an EX (5) or VG-EX (4) card. Surface gloss is partially obscured by the COMC watermark and sleeve reflections, making it impossible to assess print defects, staining, or crease lines with confidence. No obvious creases are visible from this angle, but the image resolution and watermark prevent a definitive surface read — range widened accordingly.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears notably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so centering is passable but bottom is tight — no miscut visible. Corners: all four corners show some rounding under scrutiny; the top-left and bottom-right appear the most worn, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: the sticker face shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, though the photo angle cannot fully confirm the absence of light creases or surface scuffs. Edges: the film-strip die-cut border looks intact with no major chipping or peeling noted, though fine edge wear is likely present on a raw 1977 sticker of this vintage.
