1977 Wonder Bread Star Wars #1 Luke Skywalker — Raw

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border (occupied by Star Wars logo strip) is inherent to the design; top border ~4mm, bottom border ~5mm - centering is roughly 55/45 L/R and 55/45 T/B within the design parameters of this borderless die-cut set, which is not heavily penalized. Corner condition is the primary concern: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows significant scuffing and gloss loss across the photo area, with what appears to be a light crease or fold stress line visible on the lower-left portion of the card face. The black border shows edge wear and chipping consistent with heavy handling. The card appears to have multiple surface abrasions reducing it to the VG-to-GOOD range; back is not visible which could reveal additional creasing or staining.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border marginally wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is not a primary concern here. The card shows significant wear consistent with a VG range: all four corners exhibit visible rounding and fraying, the black borders show heavy chipping and wear especially along the left and bottom edges, and there is notable surface dirt/toning across the image area. The card appears to have a light crease or handling crease near the upper portion of the image, and the overall gloss is largely gone. No tears or paper loss are visible, but the cumulative wear — rounded corners, edge chipping, surface soiling, and apparent crease — places this firmly in the VG (3) neighborhood, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the crease proves very minor on closer inspection, and GOOD (2) a risk given the edge wear severity.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right border, roughly 65-70% right / 30-35% left; top and bottom appear closer to 55/45 - left/right centering is the primary concern here and likely falls in the 7 NM or worse range. Corners are difficult to assess precisely at this distance but appear to show some rounding or soft wear on at least two corners, suggesting EX to VG-EX territory. The surface shows acceptable gloss for a Wonder Bread issue - these cards were distributed in bread packages and commonly exhibit handling wear, light creasing, and print defects; no obvious creases are visible here but the photo angle limits back-surface and edge inspection. The card appears clean with no staining or major defects visible, but the left/right centering skew and apparent corner softness keep the ceiling modest; a 5 EX is the most likely single grade pending corner and edge inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears tighter than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show light rounding, particularly visible at the bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or chips visible. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light handling wear but no creases are evident from this photo; however, Wonder Bread cards were often inserted in bread bags and commonly show soft corners and surface wear from moisture/handling, which is factored into the estimate. Back condition is unverifiable from this single-sided scan, widening the range slightly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show mild to moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left and lower-right appear slightly soft), consistent with a 5 EX range. The black border shows some edge wear and possible minor chipping but no severe fraying. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible across the image area; no obvious creases are visible but the CoMC watermark partially obscures the center. Wonder Bread food issue cards are notoriously prone to handling wear and soft corners due to their distribution method, so the visible condition here is typical for the set; back is not visible, which could reveal staining or creases that would lower the grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly tighter than bottom (roughly 65/35 top-to-bottom) — centering is noticeably off but not catastrophic. The black borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most pronounced on the left edge. Corners appear rounded with moderate to significant wear, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or staining on the white tunic area of the image, though the CoMC watermark partially obscures the lower surface assessment. No creases are definitively visible from this single photo, but edge wear and corner rounding anchor this card in the 2–4 range; back condition, which is unviewable, could shift the grade in either direction.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 (noticeably right-heavy, with the black left border wider than the right), top/bottom roughly 60/40 — centering is off but not catastrophically so, perhaps EX-MT range on that dimension alone. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in this view (lower-left and upper-left), consistent with VG-EX to EX handling wear. The black border shows some edge wear and minor chipping/scuffing along the left edge. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled, suggesting light to moderate handling; no obvious crease is visible in the photo but surface texture may hide light ones. The CoMC watermark partially obscures the lower-center surface, limiting full assessment — a back photo and corner close-ups would tighten this range considerably.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so centering is off but not catastrophically so. The more serious concerns are the corners — all four show visible rounding and wear, with the top-left corner appearing particularly soft and the top-right showing a small ding or compression; these are consistent with a VG (3) grade. The black border shows edge wear and scuffing, most notably along the top edge where a whitish stress line or possible soft crease is visible. Surface gloss appears reduced overall with light print wear typical of Wonder Bread issue cards, which were distributed in bread packaging and routinely show handling wear; no hard creases are clearly confirmed from this single front photo but cannot be ruled out on the back. Given the rounded corners, edge wear, and reduced gloss, a PSA 3 (VG) is the most likely outcome, with a slim chance of 4 (VG-EX) if the back is cleaner than expected.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for the grade range. The CoMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface, making crease and surface assessment difficult there. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least two visible corners (upper left and lower right suggest mild wear), consistent with a grade in the EX to EX-MT range. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible, and gloss appears intact but slightly muted — typical for a handled Wonder Bread food issue. No creases are visible in the photo, but the watermark prevents full surface confirmation; back is not visible. The Wonder Bread set is notoriously condition-sensitive due to its food-issue origin, so without a clean unobstructed photo and back view, the range is held wide.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border appears tighter than bottom (~60/40 T/B), so centering is not a primary concern. However, the card exhibits significant issues: multiple visible creases are apparent across the image area (notably a diagonal crease running through the upper center of the photo), and the black borders show heavy chipping and wear on all four edges. Corners appear rounded on all four points, consistent with a VG or lower grade. Surface gloss appears largely gone with visible handling wear throughout. The combination of multiple creases, rounded corners, heavy border wear, and edge chipping points firmly to a PSA 3 VG, with 2 possible if the creases are deeper than the photo reveals; a 4 is unlikely given the evident corner rounding and crease count.

Centering estimate: left border ~4mm, right border ~3mm (L/R roughly 57/43 acceptable); top border ~3mm, bottom border ~5mm (T/B roughly 60/40 — slight top-heavy shift but within EX-MT range). Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-right appear softened), consistent with EX to EX-MT wear. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light handling marks or scuffing on the white tunic area; no creases are visible in this scan but the CoMC watermark partially obscures the center. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious tears or chips. The seller's self-reported grade of HG6 (EX-MT) aligns with the visible corner rounding and surface wear; a PSA 5 EX is the most likely outcome given the corner softness, with 6 possible if corners are sharper than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~5% (blue Star Wars band side), top border ~8%, bottom border ~8% — left/right ratio approximately 65/35 to 70/30, top/bottom roughly 50/50; centering is passable but the right edge is noticeably tight due to the design. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and lower-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface appears to have some light handling wear and possible minor gloss loss, though no obvious hard creases are visible in this scan. The Wonder Bread issue is a food-issue card known for softer stock and rougher cuts, so some edge irregularity is expected; no miscut is evident, and no major staining or writing is observed, but the back is unseen and could harbor additional defects.

Centering: Left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut; no adjacent card printing bleeds in. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and/or fraying, particularly the top-left and bottom-left which appear soft and blunted — consistent with a VG-range card. Edges: the top edge shows dark discoloration/wear and possible paper degradation along the black border; the left edge appears rough. Surface: there is visible surface wear, some gloss loss in the central image area, and what appears to be a light crease or surface scuff running diagonally across the lower chest/belt region of the figure — if confirmed as a crease this keeps the card in the 2-3 range. Wonder Bread cards were issued as premiums and frequently show this level of handling wear; a grade of 3 (VG) feels most probable given rounded corners, apparent surface crease, and edge wear, though 4 is possible if the surface mark is a scan artifact rather than a true crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly thinner than bottom (~40/60 T/B), so top-heavy lean but within roughly 65/35 range — no miscut evident. Corners appear lightly worn with some rounding visible on at least the lower-left corner; upper corners are harder to assess but show mild softening. Surface gloss appears moderate with some light wear or print texture consistent with Wonder Bread food-issue cards, which were distributed inside bread bags and typically show handling wear; no obvious creases are visible but the COMC watermark partially obscures the center surface. Edges look reasonably clean with no major chips or tears visible. The food-issue origin of this set means surface wear and soft corners are endemic; without a back view and corner closeups, a range of 4–7 is honest, with EX-MT (6) as the most likely grade given the apparent light corner wear and surface condition.
