1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #47 Threepio and Artoo — Raw

Centering estimate: left orange border appears approximately equal to right border (roughly 50/50 L/R); top border looks slightly narrower than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering appears acceptable for a 6-7 grade. Corners: all four corners appear intact with only light rounding visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no sharp creasing evident at corners. Surface: the sticker surface shows consistent gloss with no obvious creases, scratches, or print defects visible; the orange border shows no notable chipping or wear. The penny sleeve introduces minor glare on the upper left quadrant limiting a full corner and edge assessment, and the back is not visible, so hidden sticker-peel damage or paper loss cannot be ruled out — a common concern with 1977 stickers that warrants widening the range downward.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring the left side; top/bottom appears roughly 60/40 — centering is noticeably off horizontally, consistent with typical 1977 Topps Star Wars wandering centering. The orange filmstrip border shows some chipping/wear on the edges, particularly visible along the left and bottom edges. Corners appear to have light rounding, most visible at the bottom-left and top-right, suggesting EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some light wear but no obvious creases or staining visible; the photo image area looks reasonably clean. The back and corner closeups are not available, so range is widened — a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this toward a 4, while cleaner-than-apparent corners could support a 5-6.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly tighter than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably close and not a significant grade limiter. Corners appear lightly worn with some minor rounding visible, particularly on the lower-left and upper-right corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows some light scratching or wear in the upper image area under the glare, and the red border appears intact without obvious chipping — a common flaw on this set. Edges look clean with no visible nicks. The back is not visible, and corner detail is limited by the single overhead shot, so a range of 5–7 is appropriate pending examination of the back and corners under better lighting.
