1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #8 Grand Moff Tarkin — Raw

Centering on the die-cut sticker itself appears approximately 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom — acceptable for the series. The yellow die-cut border shows no obvious chipping or fraying along the perimeter, and the sticker face retains good gloss. Upper-left corner of the die-cut edge appears slightly soft or feathered, and the lower-left corner of the backing card shows minor surface rounding/wear; corners on the sticker proper are harder to assess at this crop but look reasonably intact with no gross rounding. Surface print quality is clean with no visible snow or staining, and the green name banner is vivid. Because this is a front-only photo without tight corner macro shots, the range is widened to 6–8; a back inspection and corner close-ups would be needed to confirm NM or better.

Centering on the die-cut sticker itself appears reasonably well-centered within the yellow border — left/right borders look approximately 55/45 and top/bottom approximately 60/40, which is acceptable for this issue. The surface image looks clean with good gloss and no obvious print defects, staining, or creases visible. Corners on the die-cut edge are difficult to assess precisely at this resolution but appear mostly sharp with no obvious rounding or chipping; the yellow border shows no visible fraying. The back and corner condition cannot be confirmed from this single front photo, and the die-cut edge texture makes corner assessment inherently harder — range is widened accordingly.

Centering on the die-cut sticker: the yellow border appears slightly heavier on the left (~55%) versus right (~45%) and roughly even top-to-bottom, so centering is acceptable for this issue. The sticker die-cut edge shows some slight unevenness at the lower-right shoulder area, which is common for this issue but worth noting. Surface gloss appears intact and reasonably strong through the sleeve, with no obvious creases visible. Corner assessment is partially obscured by the plastic sleeve and glare — no severe rounding is apparent on the visible corners, but a definitive corner grade cannot be confirmed; the upper-left and lower-right corners appear to have slight softness suggesting light wear consistent with EX-MT to NM range. The yellow border shows minor scuffing/yellowing consistent with age. Cannot confirm back condition or confirm Topps US vs. O-Pee-Chee from this image.

Centering on the sticker within the card frame appears roughly 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom — acceptable for the grade range. The die-cut yellow border looks intact with no visible chips or tears along the edges. Corners are difficult to assess precisely at this resolution but appear to show very light rounding consistent with handling rather than sharp mint corners. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, though the image does not allow close corner or edge inspection. A conservative EX-MT (6) estimate accounts for likely light corner wear typical of a handled 47-year-old sticker; upside to NM (7) is possible if corners prove sharper on inspection.

Centering on the sticker within the card appears roughly 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom — acceptable for the issue. The yellow die-cut border shows no obvious chipping or significant edge wear visible at this resolution. Corners of the underlying card stock appear to have mild-to-moderate wear, consistent with NM to EX-MT range, but the display stand obscures the bottom corners entirely, preventing a firm assessment. Surface gloss appears present with no visible creases or staining; print quality looks clean with good color saturation. The back is unseen and the bottom card corners are hidden by the stand, so the range is widened accordingly — a tighter photo with corner closeups would be needed to refine this estimate.
