1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #4 Chewbacca the Wookiee — Raw

Centering on the sticker die-cut appears roughly 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom — acceptable for a sticker card. However, the top edge shows clear creasing or paper separation/stress lines running horizontally across the upper border area, visible as white stress marks — this is a significant surface defect that is grade-limiting. Corners show rounding consistent with a VG to VG-EX card, with at least two corners (top-left and top-right) appearing soft to blunted. The surface shows moderate gloss loss and the top damage (crease or paper stress) alone pushes this into the VG range or below. The sticker itself has not been peeled, which preserves value, but the top-edge damage prevents a grade above 4 and the corner wear combined with surface stress makes 3 the most defensible single estimate.

Centering on the outer card stock: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top and bottom borders look roughly 60/40 top-heavy — centering is acceptable for a 7-8 range. The green die-cut sticker border shows no obvious chipping or peeling. Corners on the backing card show slight softening at the lower-right and upper-right, consistent with light handling wear typical of a NM grade; the left corners look crisper. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining, though the scan resolution limits a definitive read on fine print defects or edge wear. A back inspection would be needed to confirm no peeling or adhesive issues on the sticker layer, which commonly downgrade these stickers.
