1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #42 Luke poses with his weapon

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately equal to right border (roughly 50/50 L/R); top border appears slightly larger than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering looks decent and within NM-MT range. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to plastic sleeve glare, but no obvious severe rounding or creasing is visible; corners appear reasonably sharp with possible very light wear on one or two. Surface shows no visible creases or major print defects, though the sticker stock and glare obscure fine surface detail. The seller's 'pack fresh' claim is plausible from what is visible, but the single photo with glare prevents confident confirmation of corner and surface condition above a 7 NM estimate; the range of 6–8 reflects genuine uncertainty about corner and edge condition hidden by the sleeve reflection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~60/40 L/R); top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — within NM-MT range on both axes. All four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the slight photo angle makes precise corner assessment difficult. Edges appear clean with no visible chips to the red border. Surface shows good gloss retention with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible; however the camera angle and modest resolution prevent confident assessment of subtle surface wear or paper dimples. The seller's 'NR MINT' claim is plausible but the grade range is widened slightly because corner sharpness and surface condition cannot be fully confirmed from this single angled photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably tight and not a significant grade drag. Corners appear to show light to moderate wear with some rounding visible, particularly on the lower corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases visible, though the COMC watermark obscures the lower center making a definitive surface call difficult. Edges look clean with no significant chipping of the red border. Back is not visible, and the watermark limits confidence in the surface assessment, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears marginally tighter than bottom (~50/50 T/B) — reasonably well centered, no obvious OC issue. Corners appear intact with no heavy rounding visible, though photo resolution prevents fine corner assessment — they look lightly worn at best, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. The red border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear visible in this scan. Surface appears clean with no visible creases or heavy gloss loss, but image compression limits certainty on surface texture and print quality. Given the sticker format (die-cut edges are harder to assess for sharpness), and the moderate photo quality hiding corner and edge detail, a range of 5–7 is appropriate with EX-MT (6) as the most likely grade.
