1977 Wonder Bread Star Wars #12 Stormtroopers

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 favoring top - within NM-MT range on both axes. The sleeve glare obscures fine corner detail, but corners appear to show light wear with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution; they read as EX-MT to NM range. Edges look reasonably clean with no egregious nicks visible. Surface appears intact with adequate gloss remaining and no visible creases or staining, consistent with the seller's 'clean sharp' claim. The Wonder Bread set is known for softer cuts and print quality, so minor surface texture is not penalized; the sleeve glare prevents a confident call above 7, warranting a conservative EX-MT point estimate of 6.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60-65% of right border width), suggesting moderate left-right off-centering roughly 65/35 to 70/30 L/R; top and bottom borders look more balanced, approximately 55/45. The black borders on Wonder Bread cards are particularly unforgiving of chipping — no obvious white chipping is discernible from this image but the glare obscures edge detail significantly. Corners cannot be assessed with confidence due to sleeve glare at all four corners; they appear reasonably intact but no close-up is available. Surface gloss looks present with no obvious creases or staining visible, but the soft case reflection masks potential wear. Range widened due to corner and edge uncertainty from obstructions; a true NM-MT (8) is possible if corners are sharp, but centering likely caps this at 7.

Centering estimate: left-to-right borders appear roughly 70/30 favoring the left (the right 'STAR WARS' vertical logo band appears tighter/closer to the image than the left black border), and top-to-bottom appears approximately 60/40 — not extreme but notable. Corners: all four corners show some rounding and light wear; no razor sharpness visible, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges: the black border shows minor edge wear and what appears to be light chipping or fraying along the top and right edges, typical for this black-bordered Wonder Bread issue. Surface: the card photo area shows some light print grain/age toning but no obvious creases or hard folds visible from this photo; gloss appears partially intact but reduced. Back and corner closeups are unavailable, limiting precision; a crease on the back or more significant corner rounding than visible here could pull this toward a 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look relatively even at roughly 55/45 — centering is noticeably off horizontally. Corners show visible rounding, particularly at the upper-left and lower-right, consistent with a 5 (EX) to 4 (VG-EX) range. Surface gloss appears moderately intact with no obvious creases visible in the scan, but the Wonder Bread stock is thin and prone to hidden surface wear not always visible in flat scans. Edges look acceptable with no major chipping or fraying apparent. The horizontal centering issue and corner rounding are the primary grade suppressors; without a high-resolution corner closeup and back inspection, a range of 4–6 is the honest call with 5 as the most likely point grade.
