1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #38 R2-D2 (Kenny Baker)

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable, no OC concern. Corners appear lightly worn with minor softening visible at all four corners, most notably the bottom-right, suggesting light use consistent with EX-MT to NM range. The red border shows no obvious chipping or significant wear, and the surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no visible creases or staining from this angle. The card stand obscures the bottom edge and lower corners somewhat, preventing a definitive corner assessment; back condition is unknown, and sticker cards of this era often have reverse issues (peeling, residue) that can significantly impact grade — that uncertainty widens the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. The red borders show some chipping/wear consistent with this set's known fragility, particularly visible along the left and bottom edges. Corners appear to have mild-to-moderate rounding, consistent with a 5 EX range — no sharp points visible but not heavily blunted either. Surface shows some light scuffing or gloss loss in the image area, and the watermark/COMC stamp obscures the lower-center portion making full surface assessment impossible. No creases are clearly visible from this scan, but the scan resolution and watermark prevent definitive confirmation; a crease hiding under the watermark zone cannot be ruled out, which is why the floor sits at 4.

Centering estimate: left border ~15%, right border ~20%, top border ~12%, bottom border ~18% — approximately 57/43 L/R and 60/40 T/B, which is quite good for this series. The red film-strip border appears intact with no visible chipping or fraying. Corners look reasonably sharp from this distance — no obvious rounding on the visible corners, though the lower-right corner is partially obscured by glare/sleeve. Surface appears clean with decent gloss and no visible creases or staining; the image itself is sharp and well-centered. Without a corner macro shot or back view, a range of 6–8 is appropriate; the overall presentation supports NM (7) as the most likely grade, with the caveat that sticker surface issues or back defects not visible here could pull it lower.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 or 65/35, top/bottom appears roughly 55/45 — centering is slightly off but not severely so, no miscut detected. Corners show visible rounding consistent with moderate handling wear, ruling out NM or better grades. The red border shows some chipping/wear along edges which is typical for this set but still grades as a negative indicator. Surface appears to have lost some gloss and there may be minor toning or light soiling, but no obvious creases are visible from this photo; the COMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface making a full surface assessment impossible. Overall condition suggests EX to VG-EX range, with the rounded corners being the primary grade limiter.
