1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #36 Star pilot Luke Skywalker! — Raw

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 acceptable and not a primary concern. The surface image appears reasonably clean with decent gloss retention visible, though the photo resolution limits fine surface assessment. Corners show some softening/rounding — upper left appears the sharpest, lower corners look more worn — consistent with an EX range card. No creases are visible from this angle, but minor edge or back wear cannot be ruled out. The sticker format and overall presentation suggest a solid EX (5) with a realistic range of VG-EX to EX-MT (4–6) depending on back condition and corner wear under magnification.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — within acceptable range for this issue. The sticker surface shows visible aging/toning with an overall warm, faded tone consistent with 47-year-old stock, and some gloss loss is apparent. Corners appear to have light rounding at two or more corners — particularly the lower corners — without sharp points visible, consistent with an EX to VG-EX range. No creases or staining are visible from this photo, but the yellowing/toning and gloss loss preclude a grade above EX-MT. Back condition, peel/non-peel status, and fine corner detail cannot be assessed from this single front image, so the range is kept wide.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring the left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for this issue. The sticker surface looks clean with good color saturation and no visible creases. Corners are difficult to assess with precision at this resolution but appear to show light rounding consistent with an EX-MT to NM range; no sharp corner tips are clearly visible. No obvious print defects, staining, or gloss loss are evident from this view, but the moderate zoom and single-angle photo prevent confident corner and edge assessment. The red film-strip border shows no obvious chipping or significant wear, placing this card conservatively in the EX-MT (6) to NM (7) range pending closer corner inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so centering is acceptable but off on the vertical axis. The ComC watermark obscures the lower surface making surface condition assessment difficult. Corners appear to have light to moderate rounding visible at all four points — no sharp corners are evident, suggesting at least some wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges look relatively clean with no obvious nicks visible. Gloss appears present but cannot be fully assessed due to the watermark obstruction; no creases are visible, which is consistent with the seller's 'READ' note (possible undisclosed flaw) widening the range downward as a precaution.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — acceptable for this issue. Corners appear lightly rounded at all four tips with very mild wear, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no sharp razor corners visible under this lighting. Surface shows good overall gloss retention with no obvious creases, scratches, or staining visible. Edges appear clean with no major chipping on the red border, though the die-cut nature of stickers makes edge assessment less decisive; the 1-2 grade range of uncertainty reflects inability to closely inspect corners and edges in high magnification.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 7-8 range on its own. Corners appear to have light rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right show subtle softening), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows no visible creases but there is modest gloss reduction visible, and the sticker surface looks clean with no obvious print defects or staining. The photo angle and distance prevent confident corner and edge assessment — a tighter macro shot could reveal additional wear; range is widened accordingly to reflect that uncertainty.
