1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #35 Han Solo (Harrison Ford) — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 55/45 and top/bottom approximately 60/40 — centering is reasonable but slightly off, consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars sticker variance. The red filmstrip border shows some light chipping/wear particularly visible along the left edge, which is a known vulnerability for this set. Corners appear to have light to moderate rounding — not sharp, suggesting some handling wear consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface appears reasonably clean with acceptable gloss retention for a 46-year-old sticker, but the photo does not reveal fine surface scratches or the back condition. A single-side photo limits confidence; range is widened to account for unseen corner and back condition.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 favoring top — acceptable for the grade range but not pristine. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (bottom corners appear softer than top), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. The red film-strip border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear but surface gloss appears slightly diminished compared to gem examples, suggesting some handling. The back is not visible so creases, staining, or paper flaws cannot be ruled out; the range is widened accordingly. Seller's NM claim seems optimistic — EX-MT (6) is the most likely grade with NM (7) possible if the hidden corners and back are cleaner than the front suggests.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 favoring top — within NM-MT range on centering alone. The red filmstrip border shows some light chipping/wear particularly visible along the top edge and upper left corner area, consistent with the known vulnerability of this set's colored borders. Corners appear slightly rounded at two or more corners — the upper right and lower left look soft under scrutiny, suggesting EX to EX-MT range rather than NM territory. Surface gloss appears reasonable with no obvious creases visible, but the scan resolution limits a confident assessment of fine surface scratches or gloss loss. Back condition is unknown; sticker sets from this issue often show adhesive aging or paper quality issues on reverse that can suppress grade.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 60/40 favoring top — within acceptable NM-MT range for this notoriously off-center set. Corners appear to have light rounding on at least the visible lower corners, consistent with an EX-MT grade; no sharp razor corners evident but no severe rounding either. The film-strip black border shows no obvious chipping or significant edge wear visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this set where blue/black borders commonly chip. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, though the photo does not provide close-up corner detail, warranting a widened range. Collector note: the back (sticker face) condition is unknown and could meaningfully affect grade.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 55/45 horizontally (acceptable), top/bottom appears roughly 60/40 favoring the bottom — no severe centering issue. The red filmstrip border shows some chipping/wear consistent with this set's known blue/red border fragility. Corners appear to have mild rounding on at least two visible corners (bottom-left and bottom-right show slight softening), consistent with an EX range card. Surface appears reasonably clean with intact gloss though the CoMC watermark obscures the lower image area preventing full surface assessment. No obvious creases visible, but the photo resolution and watermark prevent a definitive read on fine print flaws or edge wear — range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border ~15%, right border ~15%, top border ~18%, bottom border ~14% — left/right appears close to 50/50, top/bottom roughly 55/45, which is favorable. The seller's title notes 'Gum Mk' (gum mark/stain) which is a surface defect that alone can suppress grade to EX-MT or below depending on severity — this cannot be fully assessed from the photo but is taken seriously as a self-disclosed flaw. Corners appear reasonably intact with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the lower-left is partially obscured by case glare. Surface shows some light print snow typical of the set but no creases are visible; the gum mark disclosure is the primary grade-limiter, likely placing this card in the EX to EX-MT range (5–6) rather than NM territory despite otherwise decent presentation.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners appear moderately worn with at least light rounding visible on the lower corners; upper corners look slightly better but not sharp. Surface shows the 'surface wear' disclosed by the seller and confirmed by slight gloss loss and possible light scuffing in the image area; no creases are visible but the COMC watermark partially obscures the center. Edges of the red sticker border appear intact without major chipping. The seller's title includes '0nr3' which may signal notable wear, so the lower end of the range is realistic — a grade of 5-6 EX to EX-MT feels most appropriate pending back inspection and corner closeups.
