1977 Wonder Bread Star Wars #16 TIE - Vader's Ship — Raw

Centering estimate: left border (yellow sidebar) appears notably wider than the right, and the top border appears tighter than the bottom — approximate L/R ratio ~60/40, T/B ~55/45, so centering is passable but not crisp. The upper-right corner shows visible paper/cardstock damage (browning or lifting), which is the most significant flaw visible and alone caps the grade; the other corners appear moderately to heavily rounded rather than sharp. Surface gloss is largely gone on the visible portions, consistent with heavy handling, and there is noticeable soiling or toning in the upper-right area. The penny sleeve obscures fine detail on edges and corners; the back is not visible. Given the corner damage at upper-right and overall wear, a PSA 3 (VG) is the most likely outcome, with PSA 2 possible if the back shows creases or further damage.

Centering estimate: left border is notably narrow (~10-15% of total horizontal space) versus right border (~85-90%), putting left/right at roughly 85/15 or worse — a significant centering defect; top/bottom appears more balanced at approximately 55/45. All four corners show some visible rounding or softening, consistent with light to moderate handling wear — no corner is sharp enough for NM territory. The yellow side banner and black border appear intact without visible chipping or major edge wear, though the scan resolution limits a precise edge assessment. No creases or staining are apparent on the surface, and gloss appears partially retained; combined with the off-centering and corner rounding, EX (5) is the most likely grade, with VG-EX (4) possible if corners are worse than they appear, and EX-MT (6) only if centering measures better in hand.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 off-center (card image pushed noticeably left), top/bottom roughly 55/45 — centering is a meaningful concern but not a miscut. All four corners show visible rounding consistent with VG to VG-EX range; the lower-left corner appears the most worn. The black border shows scuffing and surface wear throughout, with general gloss loss across the card face. Multiple small nicks and abrasions are visible on the border edges, and the card face shows scattered handling marks; no single hard crease is clearly confirmed from this photo, but the overall wear pattern is consistent with the seller's VG self-assessment. Back condition is unknown and could affect the final grade in either direction.

Centering estimate: left border (yellow banner) appears roughly equal to the right black border — left/right near 55/45; top border is noticeably thinner than the bottom STAR WARS logo band, putting top/bottom at approximately 65/35 or slightly worse, which is within acceptable range but not tight. Corners appear lightly rounded under scan compression — no sharp points are evident at any corner, suggesting EX to VG-EX range rather than NM; no corners look blunted or heavily worn. Surface shows no visible creases in the image, gloss appears moderate but Wonder Bread cards are known for lower-gloss stock so this is likely stock-normal. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious chips or tears; the COMC watermark and scan resolution prevent confident assessment of fine surface wear and exact corner condition, warranting a widened range.

Centering: the black border appears noticeably wider on the right than the left (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), and top border appears slightly wider than the bottom (roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. The card surface shows visible soiling, scuffing, and what appears to be general grime or print wear across the dark field, consistent with a VG-range card. Corner detail is difficult to assess precisely in this photo but the corners do not appear sharp — rounding is likely on at least two corners. The black border edges show some wear/fraying visible along the left edge. Overall condition signals a VG (3) with the range extending to VG-EX (4) if corners are better than they appear, or down to GOOD (2) if the surface damage is more extensive than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears wider than right (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Surface shows notable wear with multiple scuffs and scratches visible across the black border area, which is particularly unforgiving on this set. Corners show visible rounding and softening on at least two corners (bottom-left and top-right most apparent), consistent with a VG-range card. The card exhibits gloss loss and surface abrasion across the black border regions; no obvious hard crease is visible from this photo but the surface texture suggests handling wear that could reveal creasing under better lighting. Overall condition points to a PSA 3 (VG) as the most likely grade, with 2 possible if hidden creasing is present and 4 possible if the surface is cleaner than it appears under this scan.

The card shows heavy surface creasing throughout — multiple deep wrinkles are visible crossing the face of the card, including a pronounced diagonal crease running from upper-left toward center-right. Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 50/50, top/bottom approximately 55/45, so centering itself is not an issue. All four corners show significant rounding and wear consistent with heavy handling. The black border surface appears abraded with gloss largely lost. The severity of multiple deep creases and rounded corners places this firmly in the PSA 2 (GOOD) to PSA 3 (VG) range at best; the number and depth of creases likely push it toward a 2 or possibly a 1 qualifier. Wonder Bread cards are notoriously difficult to find in high grade due to their food-issue stock, and this example reflects typical heavy use.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — centering is acceptable but not tight. The black border on the left edge looks slightly wider than the right, consistent with mild off-center. Corner inspection reveals visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-right most apparent), suggesting meaningful wear. Surface shows what appears to be light scuffing or print wear across the dark field — the black background makes surface scratches and rub marks more visible on Wonder Bread stock. No crease is clearly visible from this image, but the surface texture and corner rounding push this into the VG-EX to EX range; the back and a corner closeup would be needed to confirm or rule out a crease.

Both front and back are shown side by side in one seller photo — grading is assessed on the front (left card). Centering: left border appears roughly 8-10% wider than right, top border slightly wider than bottom — estimated L/R ~55/45, T/B ~55/45, which is acceptable, though the black border makes precise measurement difficult. Corners show mild rounding on at least two visible corners (bottom-left and top-left appear slightly soft), consistent with an EX to EX-MT grade range. The card surface shows some loss of original gloss and minor handling wear but no visible creases. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious chips or major fraying. The back (right panel) shows age toning on the cream stock, which is typical for the issue and does not affect the front grade; overall condition supports a PSA 5 EX estimate with a plausible range of 4-6 depending on corner and surface details not fully resolvable at this resolution.

Both front and back are shown. Centering on the front: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly tighter than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. The four corners show light-to-moderate rounding, with the upper-left corner appearing the most worn; no razor sharpness on any corner. The black border along the edges shows minor chipping/wear consistent with a handled card. Surface shows scattered scuffs and light handling marks visible even at this resolution, with some gloss loss; no obvious hard crease is detected on the front though the card stock appears slightly wavy. The back shows age toning and minor soiling but no writing. Wonder Bread cards are notoriously difficult to find in high grade due to their food-issue distribution; this example grades solidly in the VG-EX range, with corner wear being the primary grade-limiter.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 (acceptable for Wonder Bread), top/bottom closer to 55/45 — centering is not the primary concern here. The card shows significant surface wear: a prominent diagonal crease is visible running from the upper-left quadrant toward the center, and additional creasing or stress lines are visible in the lower portion of the card face. Corners appear rounded on at least two visible corners, consistent with a VG grade. Gloss loss is evident across much of the surface. No writing or tears are apparent, but the cumulative crease and corner damage likely lands this in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the creases prove shallower than they appear, and GOOD (2) possible if additional back-side damage is present.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 65/35 favoring top — acceptable for a vintage food-issue card but not tight. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the toploader and glare but appear to show light rounding at two or more corners with no severe damage visible. The black border shows no obvious chipping or major wear, and the surface image appears to retain reasonable gloss with no visible creases. Wonder Bread cards are notoriously difficult to grade due to their food-issue origins (softer stock, rougher cuts), so the range is widened to account for hidden corner and edge wear on the back side and under better lighting.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring the left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — off-center but not severely so. The black borders show visible wear and chipping, particularly noticeable along the top and left edges where the black border is thinning. Corner detail is soft in this image but at least one corner (top-left) appears lightly rounded; the others look similar but camera angle obscures precision. Surface shows scattered print snow/speckles typical of this issue but no obvious creases are detectable from this photo — though the image resolution and angle make a definitive crease assessment impossible. Gloss appears diminished overall. The yellow bottom banner area and cyan logo strip look intact with no tearing. Given visible border wear, apparent corner softness, and centering, a VG-EX (4) is the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if corners prove sharper on inspection and VG (3) if hidden surface issues exist.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 70/30 skewed toward the right (logo side has minimal margin, left side has more black border), top/bottom appears approximately 60/40 — centering is noticeably off but not catastrophically miscut. Surface shows scattered print snow/spotting across the green field, which is typical for Wonder Bread stock but still a surface defect. The yellow bottom banner shows some wear and possible light soiling; gloss appears diminished overall suggesting handling wear. Corners cannot be assessed with full precision at this angle and resolution, but the card appears to show at least light-to-moderate corner rounding on visible corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no obvious hard crease is visible, keeping it out of the VG-and-below territory, but the off-centering, surface spotting, and gloss loss prevent a grade above EX.
