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

Centering on the sticker within the black card frame appears reasonably well-centered — left/right roughly 50/50, top/bottom approximately 55/45, no severe off-center issue visible. The yellow die-cut border looks largely intact without obvious chipping or peeling, which is the primary vulnerability on these stickers. Surface gloss appears present and intact with no visible creases, though the top-loader glare partially obscures the upper portion of the card. Corners on the outer black card stock are difficult to assess precisely through the loader but show no obvious blunting or rounding visible at this resolution; the point estimate of 7 (NM) reflects the likelihood of minor sticker edge or corner wear typical for raw 46-year-old sticker cards, with upside to 8 if corners prove sharp on inspection and downside to 6 if any hidden edge lifting or gloss loss is present on the sticker surface.

Centering on the sticker die-cut itself appears reasonably centered within the card stock, roughly 55/45 left-right and 60/40 top-bottom, but the sticker's yellow border shows some unevenness on the left edge. Corners on the sticker border show light to moderate rounding, particularly visible at the lower corners, suggesting wear consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. The surface shows some dullness and light handling wear — gloss is reduced but no obvious hard creases are visible at this resolution; minor edge fraying on the die-cut perimeter is present. No writing, staining, or major creases are evident, but the image resolution prevents confident corner and surface assessment, warranting a widened range.

Centering: the yellow die-cut border appears roughly even left/right (approximately 50/50) and slightly tighter at top than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a grade in the 7-8 range. Corners: all four corners are obscured by the case at the edges and by the die-cut shape itself, making a precise corner read impossible; no obvious blunting or rounding is visible where corners can be glimpsed. Surface/gloss: the photo image looks clean with reasonable gloss remaining; no obvious creases, staining, or print defects are visible, though the case lid introduces some glare over the upper portion. Edges: the die-cut edge appears intact without chipping or tears; the yellow border looks solid with no visible color loss, but fine edge detail is partially masked by the case — a wider range of 6-8 is warranted given the inability to closely inspect corners and edges through the holder.

Centering on the sticker itself within the black backing card appears reasonably balanced left/right (roughly 55/45) and top/bottom (60/40), which is acceptable for the series. The yellow die-cut border shows no obvious chipping or peeling visible at this resolution, and the green caption banner looks clean with no staining. Corners on the black card stock appear to have light rounding — not crisp but not heavily worn — consistent with EX-MT to NM range; the die-cut sticker border makes corner assessment less definitive than a standard card. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, but the photo does not allow close corner inspection or edge examination, so a wider range than usual is warranted. The sticker appears unpeeled and fully adhered to its backing, which is a positive for grade.

CRITICAL SET NOTE: The actor name 'ALEC GUINNESS AS BEN' printed on the front label is the decisive Wonder Bread identifier — this is a Wonder Bread card, not a Topps sticker, though the expected card was listed as Topps sticker #13. Centering: the red die-cut border appears roughly centered left-to-right (~55/45) and top-to-bottom (~60/40), acceptable for the issue. Corner wear is difficult to assess precisely on a die-cut sticker but the visible edges of the red border show minor rounding and slight edge softness consistent with EX range. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining in the photo. The single scan angle limits corner and edge assessment; a back inspection and corner closeups would tighten this range considerably.

Centering: the yellow die-cut border appears moderately uneven — left border noticeably wider than right (~65/35 left-right), top and bottom borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring top; centering is off but not catastrophically so for this issue. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and softening — no sharp points remain, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges/die-cut perimeter: the cut line appears intact with no tears or paper loss, though there is minor roughness along the right edge that may be a slight nick or natural die-cut texture. Surface: the photo image shows some light gloss loss and there appears to be minor surface wear or scuffing in the lower portion of the sticker; no obvious creases are visible in the photo but cannot be ruled out entirely without handling the card. Overall impression places this at a PSA 4 (VG-EX) with a possible stretch to 5 if the surface is cleaner than it appears; the rounded corners prevent anything higher.

Centering on the die-cut sticker appears reasonably balanced left/right (approximately 55/45) and slightly tight on the top versus bottom (roughly 60/40), within acceptable range. The yellow die-cut border looks intact with no obvious chipping or major tears visible along the edges. Corners on this die-cut format are harder to assess precisely but appear to show light rounding consistent with moderate handling — no sharp points visible, suggesting EX to EX-MT territory. Surface gloss appears present with no creases or staining visible, though the photo resolution limits a definitive surface and corner call; backs and fine edge detail are not visible.

Centering on the sticker itself appears reasonably balanced left-to-right (approximately 55/45) and top-to-bottom (approximately 60/40), which is acceptable for this issue. The die-cut yellow border shows no obvious major chipping or tearing visible at this resolution, but fine edge condition along the die-cut perimeter is difficult to assess fully. Corners of the sticker appear to have mild rounding consistent with light handling — no sharp points evident, suggesting EX-MT range at best. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, scratches, or staining visible, though the photo resolution limits close inspection of fine print defects or subtle wear.

Centering on the yellow sticker border appears reasonably balanced left/right (~55/45) and slightly tighter top (~60/40 top-heavy), which is acceptable for this issue. The die-cut edge is intact and the yellow border shows no obvious chipping or significant lifting. Corners on the sticker portion appear intact though the image resolution makes precise corner assessment difficult — no obvious rounding is visible but soft detail prevents ruling out very light wear. Surface gloss looks decent with no visible creases, staining, or major print defects in the image area; the photo is slightly warm-toned but that appears to be the card's natural coloring. The main uncertainty is corner and edge condition detail on this die-cut format, which is harder to assess than a standard card — range reflects that uncertainty.

Centering on the outer card borders (the dark backing card): left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top and bottom appear roughly even (~55/45 T/B) — acceptable for the grade range. The die-cut sticker itself sits well within the backing card. Corners on the backing card appear to have light wear with very slight rounding visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss on the sticker image looks reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible; the photo image area appears clean and well-preserved. The die-cut edge of the sticker appears intact without notable chipping or peeling, though fine edge condition details are hard to confirm at this resolution — back condition, which matters for sticker peel/adhesive integrity, is entirely unknown from this photo.

Centering on the sticker die-cut itself appears reasonably balanced left/right (~55/45) and top/bottom (~60/40), but the seller's note flags 'corner wear' which is visible — at least one or two corners show mild rounding and softening consistent with light handling. The yellow die-cut border shows no catastrophic chipping but does exhibit some edge wear/fraying that is typical of these stickers. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, staining, or major print defects from this angle. Back condition, full corner closeups, and edge detail are not visible, so the range is widened downward to account for possible hidden wear; a PSA 5 EX is the most likely outcome given the stated and visible corner wear.

Centering estimate: the yellow die-cut border appears slightly left-heavy and top-heavy — approximate left/right ratio ~55/45 and top/bottom ~60/40, which is acceptable for the sticker format. The sticker surface shows visible wear and light scuffing across the face, particularly on the lower-left quadrant and around the subject's forehead area, with some whitening/stress marks visible along the die-cut edge that suggest handling. Corner tips on the die-cut shape show light to moderate rounding, consistent with an EX to EX-MT range. No obvious creases are visible from this angle, but the surface scuffing and edge wear along the yellow border prevent a grade above 6. The holder introduces mild glare on the bottom third, making it difficult to fully assess the caption area and lower die-cut edges; a full grade confirmation would require corner close-ups and a back inspection.
