1977 Wonder Bread Star Wars #6 Grand Moff Tarkin — Raw

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — not alarming but slightly off. The black borders make edge chipping and soiling harder to assess in this dark image; no obvious miscut is visible. The bottom gold banner and right-side logo text appear intact with no obvious tearing or writing. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the sleeve and dark photo, but there is a suggestion of at least minor rounding or soft wear on visible corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss cannot be reliably assessed through the sleeve glare; no creases are visible but cannot be ruled out on the back. The Wonder Bread stock is notoriously flimsy and prone to handling wear, so caution warrants a conservative range of 3–5 until corners and back can be examined.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably tighter than bottom (~60/40 T/B) - centering itself is not catastrophic but the black borders make chips and wear very visible. The upper-left corner shows clear wear/rounding visible even at this resolution, and the upper-right corner appears similarly softened; lower corners are partially obscured by darkness but suggest comparable wear. Surface shows scattered scuffs or handling marks in the upper region, and the black border appears to have some edge roughness/chipping consistent with typical Wonder Bread issue handling wear. No obvious hard crease is visible from this scan, but gloss loss and corner rounding push this firmly into the VG-VG/EX range. Back is unseen, which widens the range downward if a crease is present.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably thinner than right (~70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look roughly even (~55/45 T/B) — left-right misregistration is the primary centering concern. Corners: at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left) show visible rounding and wear; upper-right and lower-right are partially obscured by the logo band but appear similarly soft. Surface: scattered scuffs and surface dirt spots are visible across the image area, with distracting marks in the upper-left; gloss appears significantly diminished. Edges: left and bottom edges show roughness consistent with handling wear. The COMC watermark partially obscures the lower surface, limiting full assessment; back is unseen. Collectively this card presents as a VG (3) with a reasonable range of 2–4 depending on crease presence not fully visible in this scan.

Centering: the black border appears slightly wider on the left than right (approx 55/45 L/R) and the top border is noticeably thinner than the bottom (approx 60/40 T/B), so centering is imperfect but not severely off. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding — not sharp, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range card; no corner is blunted to the degree of a VG or lower. Surface: the image shows multiple scattered scratches/scuffs across the face, moderate gloss loss, and what appears to be general surface wear consistent with age and handling; no obvious hard crease is confirmed but a light surface crease cannot be ruled out from this photo. Edges: the black borders show some wear and minor chipping but no major tears or paper loss — the seller's 'VG/EX' self-assessment of a 4 seems reasonable, with the surface scratching possibly dragging it toward a 3 if more severe than they appear here.

Centering estimate: left black border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border (right edge is tighter against the logo strip), top border appears somewhat thicker than bottom — approximate L/R ~55/45, T/B ~60/40, which would be acceptable for NM range if accurate, but the compressed CoMC-watermarked photo makes precision difficult. The bottom yellow caption banner shows no obvious creasing visible at this resolution. Corners cannot be reliably assessed due to image darkness and CoMC overlay — the upper-left and lower-left corners appear to have some rounding but cannot be confirmed. Surface gloss loss is plausible given the muted, flat appearance of the photo, though this may be lighting artifact. The range is widened significantly because corner and edge condition simply cannot be confirmed from this single compressed image; a fresh seller photo without watermark overlay would be needed to narrow the estimate.

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 acceptable; top/bottom harder to judge but top border appears slightly heavier, estimating ~60/40 — centering is not the primary concern here. Surface shows heavy wear with significant scuffing and abrasion across the upper-left quadrant of the card face, consistent with storage or handling damage. The black border shows multiple nicks and wear spots along all visible edges, and at least two corners (upper-left visible, lower-left implied) show rounding consistent with a VG or lower grade. Gloss is largely gone across the surface. No obvious full crease is visible from this photo but the surface wear alone anchors this in the 2-4 range; back condition and any hidden creases could push it lower.

Centering estimate: left black border appears slightly narrower than right (~45/55 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — borders are modest but within acceptable range for this issue, no miscut evident. The CoMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface, preventing assessment of potential creases, print defects, or staining in that zone. Corners are difficult to assess at this resolution and angle but appear to show moderate rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss looks moderate with no obvious heavy wear visible in the photo, but the dark black border makes edge chipping hard to detect. Range is intentionally wide due to watermark obstruction and lack of corner closeups; back condition is unknown.

Centering: the black border appears noticeably thinner on the left (~30%) vs. right (~70%) and slightly thinner on top vs. bottom, roughly 70/30 left-right — a meaningful centering defect but not miscut territory. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with handling over decades; upper-left corner appears the most dinged. The black border along the top-left shows what appears to be edge wear and possible chipping. Surface has scattered scuffs and loss of gloss visible even at this resolution, with some cloudiness in the image area. No overt creases are confirmed from this angle, but the card's overall wear pattern (rounded corners, border wear, gloss loss) places it solidly in the VG to VG-EX range; a hidden crease on the back or surface could push it to a 2.

Centering estimate: left border is significantly narrower than right (~70/30 left-right), top border slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom), so horizontal centering is a notable concern. All four corners show visible rounding and wear — no sharp corners are present anywhere, with the top-left and bottom-left appearing the most worn. The edges show general roughness consistent with handling wear. Surface gloss is largely gone with visible scuffing across the face of the card; the black background area makes surface marks harder to read definitively through the sleeve. No creases are clearly visible but cannot be ruled out given the sleeve obstruction and overall wear level — the total presentation reads VG (3) with downside risk to GOOD (2) if a crease is present on the back or hidden by the sleeve.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable but hard to confirm precisely through the sleeve. Surface shows notable darkening and wear across the black border, consistent with handling/aging typical of these bread-issue cards; there is visible soiling or toning on the upper-left quadrant of the black border. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the sleeve but appear to show moderate rounding, suggesting VG-EX to EX territory at best. No creases are visible in this photo, but the sleeve glare obscures fine surface detail; the black borders on Wonder Bread cards are notoriously unforgiving and show wear readily, which is the primary grade-limiter here.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom appears approximately 55/45 — centering is somewhat off but not severely so, likely in the 75/25 range overall. The four corners show visible rounding, most notably at the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with VG to VG-EX wear. Surface gloss appears moderately reduced with some light scuffing visible across the face image, though no obvious hard creases are detectable from this single front photo. The seller's self-described 'VG' grade aligns reasonably with what is visible — corner rounding and gloss loss point to a PSA 3-4 range, with a 5 possible only if the back and corners are cleaner than they appear; a crease on the back (not visible here) would push toward 3.

Centering: The Wonder Bread cards are borderless by design so traditional border ratio measurement is not applicable; the image fill appears reasonably centered left/right (~55/45) and top/bottom (~55/45) with no miscut evident. Surface: Visible scratching/scuffing across the upper-center of the card face — two or three distinct white scratch marks are clearly present under the lighting, indicating meaningful surface wear and gloss loss. Corners: At the photo resolution the corners appear lightly to moderately rounded, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no sharp corners are visible. Edges: The bottom-left corner shows slight wear, and overall edge condition appears average for the age of the card; no creases are confirmed but the surface scratches alone will suppress the grade — a PSA 4 (VG-EX) is the most likely outcome, with a 3 possible if corners are worse than they appear and a 5 possible only if the scratches are superficial gloss rubs rather than paper-fiber damage.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably thinner than right (approximately 70/30 left-right favoring right side); top and bottom borders appear relatively balanced at roughly 55/45. The dark border design makes precise centering harder to call but there is a visible left-right imbalance. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding on the visible edges, consistent with a 5-6 range; no obvious sharp corners suggesting anything above 7. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining in this photo, which is a positive sign. Back condition is unknown, and Wonder Bread cards frequently show paper quality issues (printing on bread wrapper stock) that can affect grade; the dark border on this set somewhat masks edge chipping that would otherwise be penalized. Range widened slightly to account for unviewable back and corner detail.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70-75% of right border width), suggesting left-heavy lean; top border appears slightly thinner than bottom — rough estimate L/R ~65/35, T/B ~55/45, which is borderline but not catastrophic. The corners are difficult to assess precisely at this resolution and angle, but the upper-left corner shows visible softening/rounding and the lower corners appear similarly worn — consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows some general dullness and what appears to be minor soiling or print wear on the image area; no obvious hard creases are visible from this view but subtle surface wear is likely present. The Wonder Bread set is known for soft cuts and modest print quality so minor print artifacts are set-normal; back is not visible and could reveal creases or staining that would drop the grade further, hence the wide range.
