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

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 - acceptable for the set but slightly left-heavy. Corners appear lightly worn with minor rounding visible, particularly on the lower-left and upper-right corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. The red filmstrip border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear, and surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases from this angle. Back is not visible and corner wear is difficult to assess precisely at this resolution, so the range is widened; a crease or more significant corner wear on the reverse could push this toward a 5.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 favoring top — within NM-MT range on both axes. Corners appear lightly worn with subtle rounding visible on at least the lower-right corner, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows moderate gloss retention with some light toning/wear on the image area, typical of this set; no obvious creases are visible from this photo though the scan angle cannot fully rule out surface issues. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chipping of the red border; the sticker film itself appears intact with no peeling evident, placing this solidly in the EX-MT to NM range pending back inspection.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 55/45, top/bottom approximately 60/40 — reasonably centered for the set. Corners appear to show light to moderate rounding, particularly visible at the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. The red border shows no obvious chipping or heavy edge wear, but some softness is visible. Surface gloss appears partially intact with no obvious creases detected in this scan, though the CoMC watermark obscures the lower-center area making a full surface read impossible; back is not visible. A conservative range of 4–7 is warranted given the corner wear visible and the photo obstruction limiting full assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable and does not appear to be a grade-capping issue. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear intact with no obvious heavy rounding, but the lower-left corner is partially shadowed making a definitive call difficult; upper corners look reasonably sharp suggesting mid-grade range. Surface/gloss: the sticker surface appears to retain decent gloss with no visible creases or major print defects discernible at this scale; some minor print snow typical of the set may be present. Edges appear clean and cut is not miscut. Without corner macro shots or a back image, uncertainty spans EX to NM (5–7), with EX-MT (6) as the most probable single grade given the overall presentation.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably close and not a primary concern. Corners appear to show light wear with very subtle rounding visible, particularly on the lower corners, consistent with an EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases visible from this scan, and the sticker image itself looks clean with no notable print defects or staining. Back is not visible so hidden flaws (creases, writing, staining) cannot be ruled out, warranting a wider range; this card grades conservatively at EX-MT (6) with upside to NM (7) if corners and back are cleaner than they appear.

Centering: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably good, no severe wander. Corners: the four corners appear to have light to mild rounding with no sharp points visible under this resolution; upper corners look slightly better than lower, consistent with an EX-MT range. Surface: the sticker image shows good color saturation and no obvious creases are visible, gloss appears intact with minor wear. Edges appear clean with no notable chipping of the red border; back is not visible so hidden defects (sticker residue, peeling, creases) cannot be ruled out, which is why the range is widened — stickers are especially susceptible to back-side issues that can suppress grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55% top) — overall reasonably centered, probably within 65/35 range on both axes, no miscut detected. Corners appear relatively sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the upper-left corner is partially obscured by glare. The red border shows no obvious chipping or heavy edge wear. Surface appears clean with decent gloss retention and no visible creases. The photo is a decent overall shot but lacks corner macro detail and a back image, which limits confidence; the range reflects that uncertainty — could grade as high as 8 if corners are crisper than they appear, or as low as 6 if there is hidden edge/surface wear.
