1977 Wonder Bread Star Wars #1 Luke Skywalker — Raw

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — centering is not the primary issue here. The upper-left corner shows a visible notch or paper loss/tear, which is the most damaging defect on the front; all four corners show rounding consistent with heavy handling. A surface crease or fold line is visible diagonally across the center of the image (mid-card, running from lower-left toward center-right), which would typically cap this card at PSA 3 or below. The black border shows scuffing and wear along all edges. Gloss appears largely lost. The combination of a visible crease, corner damage including what appears to be a paper nick at upper-left, and overall surface wear points to a PSA 3 (VG) with a plausible floor of 2 if the corner damage is judged as paper loss; a ceiling of 4 is possible only if the crease photographs worse than it grades in hand.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 — centering is imperfect but not severely off. The black borders show visible chipping and wear on all four edges, most notably at the top-left and bottom corners which appear rounded and softened. A diagonal crease or fold line is clearly visible running across the upper-left quadrant of the card face, which is a significant surface defect consistent with a PSA 3 (VG) grade. Surface gloss appears largely lost and the card shows overall handling wear consistent with decades of unprotected storage; the COA watermark partially obscures the center but enough surface detail is visible to assess the damage. This card would likely land at PSA 3 (VG) due to the visible crease, rounded corners, and edge wear, with PSA 2 possible if the crease is deeper than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably close and not a primary concern. The black borders show some visible chipping/wear, particularly noticeable along the right edge near the logo strip and the bottom left corner area. Corner sharpness is difficult to fully assess due to the COMC watermark obscuring the center of the card, but visible corners suggest mild to moderate rounding consistent with an EX range card. Surface gloss appears present but slightly reduced, with no obvious creases visible from this scan. The COMC watermark prevents confident assessment of surface and center, widening the range; back is not visible.

Centering: left border appears roughly 3-4mm, right border 2-3mm (the STAR WARS logo band absorbs right edge), top border approximately 4mm, bottom banner is consistent — left/right perhaps 55/45 to 60/40, top/bottom roughly 55/45; centering itself is not a primary concern here. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and softening — no sharp points remain, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; upper-left corner appears the most worn. Edges: black borders show light chipping and edge wear, particularly along the left and top edges, typical for this issue. Surface: some gloss loss is apparent across the face and there appears to be a light surface crease or handling wrinkle in the upper-center of the image area, though it is difficult to confirm depth from this angle; no major creases or staining visible. Back is not shown, limiting confidence.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — off-center but not severely miscut. The black border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most pronounced at the lower-left and lower-right corners, which appear rounded rather than sharp. The upper corners look slightly better but still show soft rounding consistent with handling wear. Surface gloss appears partially retained in the image center but the photo print stock on Wonder Bread cards is inherently lower-quality than Topps, making gloss assessment difficult; no visible creases are detected from this angle. Back cannot be assessed, and corner wear is partially obscured by photo angle — range is widened accordingly to account for possible hidden creases or additional surface wear.

Centering: left black border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom) — off-center but not severely so for this issue. Corners: at photo resolution all four corners show some degree of rounding or softening, consistent with a PSA 4-5 range; no corner is sharp enough to suggest NM territory. Edges: the black borders appear intact without obvious chipping or nicks visible, though the black border on Wonder Bread cards is less prone to the chip-telling seen on Topps blue borders. Surface: the image area shows reasonable gloss with no creases visible in this photo, though light surface wear or scuffing cannot be ruled out without a higher-resolution or back image; the seller's 'EX' self-grade aligns with the visible evidence. Overall condition reads mid-grade EX to EX-MT, with the off-centering being the primary grade-limiting factor.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-to-right), top border slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 top-to-bottom) — centering is passable but not tight. The black border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most notably the top-left and bottom-left corners which appear distinctly rounded rather than sharp. Surface shows significant gloss loss and what appears to be general toning/soiling consistent with age and handling; the COMC watermark obscures the center but edge and corner wear is legible. No obvious hard creases are visible in this scan, though surface dulling and corner rounding place this firmly in the VG to VG-EX range; a crease hidden under the watermark or on the reverse could push it lower.

Centering (left/right): the black border appears noticeably wider on the left (~60%) versus right (~40%), and top border appears slightly heavier than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — overall off-center but not severely so, roughly 60/40 L/R. Corners: the upper-left and lower-left corners show visible rounding/softening; upper-right and lower-right appear slightly better but not sharp — consistent with a PSA 5 EX range. Surface: the photo image itself shows the characteristic Wonder Bread golden/sepia toning; there is visible surface texture and what appears to be light wear or handling marks on the white tunic area, but no obvious hard crease is discernible. Edges: the black borders show some light chipping or wear, particularly on the left edge; backs and corners cannot be fully verified from this single front photo, so the range is widened to account for unseen reverse condition.

Centering estimate: left black border appears roughly 3-4mm, right border (behind logo strip) roughly 3-4mm — left/right appears close to 55/45; top border appears slightly thinner than bottom, perhaps 60/40 top-to-bottom — centering is acceptable. The black borders on Wonder Bread cards are notoriously unforgiving for corner and edge wear; corners appear to have some light rounding or softening, particularly visible at lower left and lower right, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible. The CoMC watermark obscures the center of the card surface, making it impossible to fully assess print defects or surface wear; backs cannot be evaluated. Given the black-border set's sensitivity to edge chipping and corner wear, and the limited visibility from this single image, the range is conservatively set at 5–7 with a point estimate of 6 (EX-MT).

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for the set but not tight. The black borders (characteristic of Wonder Bread) show no obvious chipping or whitening at edges in this photo, which is a positive sign. Corners appear to have light wear — the two visible lower corners look slightly soft but not fully rounded, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects apparent, though the slight photo angle and card stand obscure the bottom corners and lower edge somewhat. Back is unseen, limiting confidence; Wonder Bread cards are notoriously condition-sensitive on their black borders, and any hidden chipping would push toward the lower end of this range.

Centering estimate: left black border appears roughly 3-4mm, right border (behind logo strip) narrower at ~2mm, giving approximately 60/40 L/R; top border ~3mm, bottom border ~3mm, so top/bottom is close to 50/50 — centering is slightly off left-to-right but not severely. The black borders on Wonder Bread cards are notorious for hiding chipping that only shows under raking light; from this photo the borders appear intact with no obvious chipping or whitening visible along edges. Corners: all four show what appears to be light-to-moderate rounding — no sharp points visible at this resolution, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears present and reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though the photo image itself shows the typical print softness of this issue. The back cannot be assessed; without corner macro shots and back inspection, a 4–6 range is honest — a clean back and sharper corners would push toward 6, any hidden crease or heavier corner wear would pull toward 4.

Centering estimate: left black border appears approximately 4-5mm, right border (blue STAR WARS strip) slightly wider at ~5-6mm, giving roughly 55/45 L/R — acceptable; top border ~4mm, bottom ~5mm, giving roughly 55/45 T/B — solid centering overall. The black border on Wonder Bread cards is an excellent tell for chipping and edge wear: the top and left edges show some minor lightening/softening of the black border under the photo lighting, suggesting light handling wear. Corners appear slightly soft — not razor sharp, consistent with an EX-MT (6) range card; the bottom-right corner in particular shows a hint of rounding. Surface appears clean with no visible creases, staining, or print defects confirming the seller's 'clean' claim; gloss appears intact but cannot be fully confirmed from a single flat photo. Back cannot be assessed, and corner wear is difficult to confirm precisely without closeups, so the range is widened to 5–7.

Centering estimate: left black border appears approximately 3-4mm, right border (behind vertical logo strip) approximately 4-5mm — left/right ratio roughly 55/45 to 60/40, acceptable; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, estimated 60/40 top-to-bottom, within NM range. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear somewhat soft — upper left and lower right show subtle rounding consistent with light handling wear, preventing a grade above 7 and likely sitting at EX-MT territory. Surface: the image photo area shows some print texture/slight grain consistent with the Wonder Bread issue's lower-grade stock; no obvious creases visible but the card stock on these cereal issues is inherently softer and more susceptible to hidden surface wear not fully resolvable from this photo. Black borders on Wonder Bread cards show chipping and wear readily — the borders here look reasonably intact but slight edge wear cannot be ruled out without corner macro shots; the back is unseen, widening the range.
