1977 Topps UK Star Wars #28 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The blue borders on this series chip and show wear readily; from this resolution the blue borders appear intact without obvious chipping, but fine corner condition is difficult to confirm. Corners look slightly soft/rounded rather than sharp, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears present but the photo resolution prevents confident assessment of creases, print defects or edge wear. Given the left-right centering lean and apparent corner softness, EX (5) is the most likely grade, with a range of VG-EX (4) to EX-MT (6) depending on what closer inspection of corners and back reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60-65% top), suggesting off-center but not severely so, approximately 65/35 L/R and 65/35 T/B. Corners cannot be assessed cleanly at this resolution but appear to show some rounding consistent with light handling wear. The blue border shows no obvious heavy chipping visible at this resolution but some wear is plausible. Surface gloss appears moderate with possible light wear; no creases are discernible but the image resolution is insufficient to rule out minor surface issues. The photo is low-resolution and taken at a slight angle, preventing confident corner and edge assessment — the range is deliberately wide to account for this uncertainty.
