1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #49 Luke, the Star Warrior!

Centering estimate: left orange border ~18%, right ~22%, top ~20%, bottom ~20% — roughly 55/45 left-right and 50/50 top-bottom, centering is reasonably close and not a major concern. The sticker image area appears well-centered within the film-strip border. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases or staining visible; the image is clear and clean. Corners are the main uncertainty — the photo does not provide tight corner closeups, but what is visible at the four corners of the orange border suggests mild to moderate rounding consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no sharp knife-edge corners are evident. Edges of the die-cut film-strip border look intact without major chipping or tearing. The ComC watermark obscures a portion of the lower image area but the card itself appears sound; a true grade assessment would require back inspection and corner macro photography.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering appears acceptable, no obvious OC issue. Corners cannot be assessed with precision due to image resolution and the watermark blocking the lower portion of the card; the visible upper corners appear to have minor wear but no obvious rounding or creasing. The orange sticker border shows no obvious chipping or heavy edge wear visible at this resolution. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, but the COM watermark and moderate image resolution prevent confident assessment of surface, print quality, and corner condition — range is intentionally wide to account for these unknowns.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly equal (55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM-EX range. Corners are difficult to assess at this resolution but appear to show light rounding on at least two corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows no obvious creases, staining, or heavy gloss loss visible in this photo. The orange filmstrip border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear, though fine edge condition cannot be fully confirmed without a closer or back photo; grade range reflects this uncertainty.

Centering estimate: left orange border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable and within NM-MT tolerances. The COMC watermark obscures the center of the image, making surface assessment difficult; no obvious creases or staining are visible in the exposed areas. Corner detail is partially visible — upper corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding, lower corners are partially obscured by the watermark and bottom caption area but show no alarming wear. The orange filmstrip border shows no visible chipping or heavy edge wear from what can be seen. Given the sticker format and typical handling wear for a 1977 sticker, range is conservatively set at 5–7 with a point estimate of 6 (EX-MT), reflecting the image limitations imposed by the watermark.
