1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #32 Preparing for the raid! — Raw

Centering estimate: the filmstrip-style black border appears noticeably wider on the left (~60%) vs right (~40%) and top border appears slightly wider than bottom, roughly 60/40 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Surface shows visible dirt, scuffing, and what appears to be generalized gloss loss across the face of the card with some scratches or surface wear marks evident. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to photo angle but the visible corners show rounding consistent with heavy handling — lower-left and upper-left corners appear notably soft/rounded. No obvious hard crease is visible in the image area but the overall surface condition and corner wear point to a VG (3) range card; the surface dirt and gloss loss could push this toward a 2 if more wear is confirmed on reverse or corners are more rounded than visible here. Collector note: 1977 Topps Star Wars blue/black borders chip and show wear easily, so this level of surface degradation is typical for unprotected copies from this era.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — centering looks acceptable but slightly off-center; no miscut evident. Corners are difficult to fully assess due to glare and the card being in a sleeve/case, but they appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution. The yellow sticker border shows no obvious chipping or major wear in this view. Surface gloss is obscured by the protective sleeve reflection, making it impossible to assess print defects, scratches, or gloss loss definitively — this is the primary uncertainty driver widening the range. Seller's NM-MT claim is plausible but unverifiable from this single glare-affected photo; a 7 NM is the honest point estimate pending better corner and surface inspection.
