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

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 with the sticker die-cut sitting reasonably centered on the card stock; top/bottom looks approximately 60/40 favoring the bottom — acceptable for this issue. Corners on the die-cut sticker perimeter appear intact with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the card corners themselves show slight softening consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss on the sticker face looks decent with no obvious creases or staining, but the scan angle makes it difficult to assess gloss loss or fine surface wear definitively. The yellow title banner and orange border appear clean and bright; a grade of 6 EX-MT is the most likely outcome, with 7 possible if corners are sharper than they appear, and 5 possible if closer inspection reveals corner rounding or minor surface wear not fully visible here.

Centering on the die-cut sticker: the orange border appears wider on the left (~60%) versus right (~40%) and the top border looks slightly heavier than the bottom, roughly 55/45 top-to-bottom — centering is serviceable but not tight. The upper-right corner of the backing card shows visible creasing or stress wear, and the lower-left corner of the backing card appears slightly bent; the die-cut sticker itself shows edge fraying or minor chipping along the upper-left die-cut edge. Surface gloss appears reduced with some light handling marks visible across C-3PO's face, and the card back/peel layer shows slight waviness suggesting possible moisture or storage stress. The photo angle and resolution prevent confident corner or edge assessment; the range reflects meaningful uncertainty about crease depth and whether the sticker has been peeled or is intact on its backing.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border appears tighter than bottom (~60/40 T/B), so centering itself is not a severe issue. Corners show visible rounding on all accessible corners, most notably the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with VG-range wear. Surface shows multiple handling scratches and scuffs across the sticker face — particularly noticeable in the upper portion of the C-3PO image — and general gloss loss. The card back and edges cannot be evaluated from this photo. The seller's title flags a condition issue ('READ CONDITION'), and the visible surface wear and rounded corners support a grade in the VG to VG-EX range (3–4); the scuffing and scratching on the surface push the estimate toward the lower end of that range.

Centering (left/right): the orange die-cut border appears slightly wider on the left than the right, estimating roughly 55/45 L/R — acceptable. Top/bottom: the sticker image rides a touch high within the card frame, approximately 60/40 T/B — within NM-MT tolerance. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases or staining visible; the C-3PO image shows good color saturation. Corners on the die-cut sticker itself look reasonably sharp but the scan resolution limits close inspection — the lower-left corner of the card mount shows possible minor softening. The key unknowns from a single front-only scan are the back condition, any hidden surface scratches, and precise corner sharpness; stickers from this series also commonly suffer adhesive residue or paper loss on the back which would cap the grade, hence the range is widened to 6–8 with a point estimate of 7 (NM).
