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

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.

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 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 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.
