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

Centering: The sticker image within the filmstrip border appears reasonably well-centered left/right, estimated roughly 55/45 L/R and perhaps 60/40 T/B — acceptable for the grade range. The white border around the filmstrip frame shows moderate margins on all sides with no obvious severe miscut. Corners: At scan resolution the corners appear to show light rounding, consistent with EX (5) to EX-MT (6) range — no sharp, pristine corners visible but no aggressive wear either. Surface: The image presents with decent gloss retention and no visible creases, consistent with the seller's 'no creases' claim; no significant print defects or staining noted. Back is not visible, and corner condition cannot be assessed with full precision from this single scan, so the range is widened to account for possible hidden wear on reverse or corner tips.

Centering: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 55/45 L-R), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B) — centering is reasonably close and not a primary concern. The black filmstrip border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution. Corners appear to have mild to moderate rounding/wear, consistent with light handling — no sharp razor corners are visible, suggesting wear somewhere between EX-MT and NM range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, though the CoMC watermark partially obscures the lower center surface. Without corner close-ups or a back inspection, the range is widened slightly; a grade of 6 EX-MT is the most likely outcome given the visible corner softness and otherwise clean presentation.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom appears roughly 55/45 favoring top — acceptable but not tight. The filmstrip-style black border on all sides makes precise measurement somewhat difficult but no severe off-center is evident. Corners appear to show light rounding visible even at this resolution, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no razor-sharp corners are apparent. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the sticker surface finish makes gloss assessment less reliable than a standard card. Edges look reasonably clean with no visible chipping of the black border. Back and corner closeups are unavailable, limiting confidence — the range is widened to account for potential hidden wear on reverse or sharper corner damage not resolved in this scan.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Surface shows visible scratching or scuffing across the image area, most apparent in the upper portion where glare interacts with surface wear; gloss appears significantly diminished. Corners cannot be assessed with high precision due to camera angle and distance, but the visible corners suggest at least light-to-moderate rounding consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. No creases are clearly identifiable from this photo, but the surface wear and gloss loss are the primary grade-limiting factors, likely pushing the card toward the 3–5 range; absent a crease, a 4 (VG-EX) is the most probable outcome.

Centering estimate from available view: left/right borders appear roughly 70/30 favoring left, top/bottom difficult to assess due to finger obstruction but top border appears slightly wider — call it approximately 60/40 top-heavy; centering alone suggests EX-MT range but other factors drag grade down. Surface shows visible scratching and scuffing across the image area, consistent with heavy handling; gloss is notably diminished. The film-strip right border and bottom text strip show wear and soiling. Corners cannot be fully assessed due to finger placement but visible portions suggest rounding consistent with VG to VG-EX. The combination of surface scratching, gloss loss, and corner wear points to a PSA 3 (VG) estimate, with range widened to 2–4 due to partially obscured corners and back unseen.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners: the photo angle and resolution prevent clean corner inspection, but visible corners show rounding consistent with moderate wear, suggesting VG-EX to EX range at best. Surface: there is visible surface haze/soiling and what appears to be light scuffing or wear across the face; gloss appears diminished. Edges: appear intact without obvious tears but edge crispness is hard to confirm from this angle. The sticker format means adhesive backing condition also matters for PSA but cannot be assessed here; range is widened accordingly.
