1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #7 Lord Darth Vader

Centering: left border approximately 10-12%, right border 10-12%, top border ~8%, bottom border ~14% — left/right ratio is near 50/50, top/bottom skews roughly 60/40 favoring top, which is acceptable for the set. The orange die-cut border shows no obvious miscut or adjacent card bleed. Corners: at photo resolution all four corners appear slightly rounded with light wear, consistent with a card that has seen handling — no sharp points visible, suggesting EX to VG-EX range. Surface: a few scattered fine scratches/print specks are visible on the dark background area; gloss appears muted but present, no obvious creases detected. The top-loader prevents full corner inspection and the single front-only photo hides the back condition entirely, which widens the range; a back crease or heavier surface wear could pull this toward a 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — borderline but not severely off-center. The sticker itself sits on a card backing; the sticker's die-cut red border shows some uneven edge wear on the lower-left and right sides. Corners on the underlying card appear rounded, particularly the lower corners visible through the case, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows light gloss loss and what appears to be minor dirt or handling marks near the lower card edges; no obvious crease is visible from this angle but the photo does not allow definitive confirmation. The plastic case obscures corner sharpness detail, widening the range — a closer raw inspection could push this up to a 5 or down to a 3 depending on corner and surface condition confirmed in hand.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. The orange die-cut sticker border shows some minor edge wear and slight chipping consistent with handling. Corners on the visible sticker die-cut appear lightly rounded rather than sharp, suggesting moderate wear — consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the image resolution limits a definitive crease assessment. Back is not visible, and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed at this resolution, so the range is widened to account for possible hidden wear.

Centering: the orange die-cut border appears slightly wider on the right side than the left (approx 60/40 L/R) and slightly wider on the bottom than top (approx 55/45 T/B) — within acceptable range for this set. The die-cut edge follows the helmet outline and appears cleanly cut with no obvious miscut issues. Corners are difficult to assess precisely on a die-cut sticker, but the visible card corners (bottom-left and bottom-right of the rectangular base) show only light wear with no obvious rounding. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining; the image is sharp and print quality looks solid. Without corner close-ups or a back view, the range is widened — this sticker presents as EX-MT to NM on first inspection.
