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

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border notably thicker than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — acceptable for the set but leaning off. The yellow die-cut sticker border shows some edge wear and the cut appears slightly uneven on the right side. Corners are difficult to assess precisely at this angle/resolution but appear to show mild rounding consistent with light use — no sharp points visible, suggesting EX to EX-MT range. Surface shows no obvious creases or heavy gloss loss, but the photo angle and moderate resolution prevent confident assessment of print defects or subtle surface wear. The sticker format of this set (die-cut, yellow border) is inherently more forgiving on edge chipping than the blue-bordered base cards, but corner rounding is the primary grade limiter here.

Centering estimate: the black border appears noticeably wider on the left than the right (~65/35 L/R), and top/bottom appears closer to ~55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The yellow die-cut sticker is fully intact with no visible peeling or separation. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding visible at the top-left and top-right; bottom corners are partially obscured by the card stand. Surface shows some scattered print speckling/snow typical of the era but no obvious creases or heavy gloss loss are detectable from this photo. The back is not visible and corner condition cannot be fully confirmed from this angle, so the range is widened accordingly; a crease or more significant corner wear on the reverse could push this toward the lower end.

Centering estimate from the propped-up photo is approximate due to perspective: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40, top/bottom appear approximately 60/40 favoring the top - centering is acceptable for the grade range. The die-cut red sticker border shows no obvious major chipping or tears visible at this resolution, but the black card backing edges show some wear consistent with handling. Corners on the black card stock are difficult to assess precisely due to the angle and propped position, but no dramatic rounding or creases are immediately apparent - consistent with an EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious scratches or staining visible, but the single angled photo prevents confident assessment of the back, edges, and corner tips; range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border slightly larger than bottom (~55% top) — roughly 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which is acceptable but not tight. The yellow die-cut sticker border shows some unevenness on the right side but no obvious miscut from adjacent card printing. Corners appear lightly worn with minor rounding visible, particularly on the lower corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, though the photo angle and slight sleeve glare obscure fine surface detail. The sticker die-cut edges look clean without major chips or tears, placing this card in the 5–7 range; a point estimate of 6 (EX-MT) reflects the light corner wear and moderate centering.
