1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers #9 Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi — Raw

Centering on the die-cut sticker appears roughly 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom — reasonably well centered for this issue. The yellow border and die-cut edge look intact with no obvious chipping or peeling visible, though fine edge texture is hard to fully assess from this angle. Corners on the die-cut profile appear slightly softened — not sharp enough for NM-MT but not heavily rounded either, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows no visible creases or staining; gloss appears mostly intact though the photo resolution limits assessment of micro-wear and any print snow. The back (adhesive condition, any peeling or loss) cannot be evaluated and could push the grade lower; range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: the die-cut sticker sits within the card stock backing with uneven borders — left edge margin appears narrow (~10%) versus right (~20%), top appears slightly tight versus bottom, roughly 70/30 L/R which puts centering in the NM-VG-EX range on its own. However, the upper-right corner of the card backing shows obvious wear and crushing, appearing soft to rounded rather than sharp; the upper-left corner also shows stress/fraying visible even at this distance. Surface of the sticker itself appears intact with reasonable gloss, no obvious creases visible on the front face, but some scuffing or print wear may be present given the corner condition. The card backing behind the sticker shows edge wear and what appears to be top-edge fraying/damage at upper right, which is the most damaging observable defect here — this alone caps the grade in the VG-EX to EX range at best.
