1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #5 See-Threepio — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 7-8 range but the perspective distortion makes precision difficult. The die-cut sticker itself shows some wear or soil along the top edge of the orange border, and there appears to be surface wear/darkening on the upper portion of the sticker image (teal/blue discoloration on C-3PO's head area) which may be print aging or light surface wear. Corners of the card stock appear intact with no obvious rounding visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. No creases are discernible from this photo, but the photo angle and resolution prevent confident assessment of gloss loss or fine corner condition; back is unseen.

Centering on the sticker die-cut shape appears reasonably centered within the card borders; left/right card borders estimate roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 — acceptable for the grade range. The orange die-cut border shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear visible at this resolution. Corners on the underlying card appear to have light rounding consistent with moderate handling — no sharp mint corners visible but no severe rounding either. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, scratches, or staining visible; the sticker image itself looks clean and well-registered. Without a back view or corner macro shots, a range of 5–7 is appropriate; the overall presentation leans toward EX-MT (6) but a strong NM (7) is possible if corners hold up under closer inspection.

Centering: The orange die-cut sticker border appears left/right roughly 55/45 and top/bottom approximately 60/40 within the card frame - acceptable for the grade range. Corners on the card stock itself appear reasonably intact with no severe rounding visible, though the photo resolution makes precise corner assessment difficult. The sticker surface shows good gloss retention with no obvious creases visible; the die-cut orange border edge looks clean without significant chipping or peeling. The main uncertainty is that sticker cards introduce a separate grading concern - any peeling or lifting of the sticker from its backing would cap the grade, and that cannot be fully assessed from this single front-facing photo at this resolution.

Centering on the sticker die-cut within the card backing appears reasonably centered left-to-right (roughly 55/45) but the top orange border looks slightly tighter than the bottom, estimating approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom — acceptable for the grade range. The upper-left corner of the card backing shows a visible nick or ding, and the upper-right corner also appears slightly soft; the two lower corners look better but are not sharp. Surface gloss appears present but there is noticeable toning/aging across the sticker face consistent with a 45-year-old card, and a small crease or stress line appears possible in the lower-left area of the card backing — hard to confirm definitively from this photo. No major creases, staining, or writing visible; the sticker itself (the die-cut portion) looks clean, which is the primary collectible element, but the overall card condition lands this in the EX to VG-EX range pending closer corner and back inspection.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40 horizontally; top/bottom is harder to judge given the die-cut sticker format with orange border — the die-cut shape is not severely off-center. Corners on this sticker format are partially obscured by the orange die-cut border, making precise corner grading difficult, but visible areas show some rounding consistent with moderate handling wear. Surface gloss appears somewhat diminished with light wear visible across the image area; no obvious hard creases are visible but the scan resolution and angle prevent a definitive ruling. The die-cut sticker nature of this issue must be noted — PSA grades these as stickers and the orange border chipping/wear is the primary grade determinant, which shows some degradation here but no catastrophic damage.
