1977 Wonder Bread Star Wars #8 Artoo-Detoo — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 3-4mm, right border (logo strip) roughly 5-6mm, top border roughly 2-3mm, bottom banner roughly even — left/right approximately 40/60, top/bottom approximately 45/55; centering is off but not severe. The black borders show light chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical Wonder Bread handling wear. Corners appear to have mild rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left and lower-right), suggesting light use but no hard creasing evident from this view. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious scratches or print snow visible at this resolution, though the photo cannot confirm the back condition or reveal any hidden creases on the reverse.

Centering: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears tighter than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not severely off. Corners: all four corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at normal viewing distance, particularly the bottom two, suggesting EX-range wear. Edges: edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or tears visible. Surface: the photo shows what appears to be decent gloss retention with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects noted — however Wonder Bread food issue cards are notoriously susceptible to surface wear and back damage from food contact, which cannot be assessed from this front-only photo. The back condition is a significant unknown that could push the grade lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so for this food-issue set. More concerning are the visible corner issues: the lower-left corner shows clear rounding and what appears to be paper lifting or a ding, and the upper-left corner also shows wear; the black border on this Wonder Bread issue makes corner chipping and wear very apparent. Surface shows some print quality typical of the food-issue set (these were cut from bread bags/packaging, so rough edges and surface texture are endemic), but there appears to be edge wear and possible creasing in the lower-left area. The COMC watermark partially obscures the surface, limiting full assessment of gloss and print defects; this card grades in the VG-VG-EX range based on visible corner rounding and edge wear consistent with a well-handled food-issue card.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70/30 L/R), top border somewhat tighter than bottom (~60/40 T/B) - centering is off but not catastrophically so for this set. Corners: the bottom-left corner shows visible rounding/softening visible even through the sleeve; top-right and bottom-right corners also appear to have moderate wear, consistent with a VG-EX card at best. Surface: the card image shows some general dullness and loss of original gloss, consistent with age and handling; no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo but the sleeve glare partially obscures the lower-left quadrant. Edges: appear reasonably clean with no obvious major nicks visible. Wonder Bread cards are known for rough cuts and are typically found in lower grades; the absence of a visible hard crease pushes this toward 4 rather than 3, but corner wear and centering keep it from reaching 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears notably thicker than bottom (~65/35 T/B), which is moderate but not severe miscut territory. Corners appear lightly worn with minor rounding visible particularly on the lower corners, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the photo does not reveal the back or provide close-up corner detail. Edges appear clean with no visible chipping or major fraying; Wonder Bread food issue cards were often handled and stored casually, so light wear is expected and the card presents reasonably well for the issue.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable and not a major deduction. Corners: the hard case obscures precise corner inspection, but through the plastic the corners appear to show light rounding or very slight wear — consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface and gloss appear decent with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the case glare prevents a definitive surface call. The Wonder Bread set is known for having soft corners and modest print quality from distribution, so a point estimate of 6 (EX-MT) accounts for the likely corner softness typical of this issue while acknowledging the generally clean presentation; case prevents full corner and edge assessment, widening the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably larger than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so centering is passable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the scan (lower left and lower right appear soft/rounded), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. The yellow borders show some edge wear and the black outer border has minor nicks. Surface gloss is difficult to fully assess due to the COMC watermark obscuring the center, but no obvious creases or major staining are visible. This is a food-issue card which was typically distributed loosely and handled by children, so wear is expected; grade is capped around 4-5 without evidence of creases, with corners being the primary grade limiter.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R); top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not catastrophically so. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; at least two corners appear moderately soft. The black border edges show chipping/wear typical of this set but more pronounced than a lightly handled copy. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled, and there is notable edge/corner wear consistent with the seller's 'EX' claim though I'd lean slightly below that at VG-EX. No obvious creases are detectable from this single front photo, but the image angle and lighting prevent confident assessment of surface creases or back condition, warranting a widened range.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right border, roughly 70/30 L/R; top and bottom borders appear more balanced, approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is a concern on the horizontal axis. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower left and lower right are most discernible), consistent with EX-VG-EX range. The black border along the top and right side shows some wear and edge roughness typical of this food-issue set. Surface gloss appears partially intact but the COMC watermark and compressed JPEG resolution obscure fine surface detail, print defects, and precise corner assessment; no obvious creases are visible but cannot be ruled out. Wonder Bread food issues are notoriously soft on corners due to their distribution method, so the grade ceiling is naturally suppressed for this set.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. The upper-left and upper-right corners show visible rounding/wear, consistent with handling; lower corners appear slightly better but still show softening. The black border along the top-left shows some wear/chipping. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the card has a slightly worn, handled appearance typical of this Wonder Bread issue (which was a food insert and inherently lower grade). No staining or writing visible. Back not shown, limiting assessment. The condition suggests a VG-EX to EX range (PSA 4-5), with corner wear being the primary grade limiter; a hidden crease or back damage could push this to PSA 3.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring the left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 favoring the top — acceptable for this set but not tight. The yellow bottom border and blue right-side 'Star Wars' band show no obvious miscut. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have mild-to-moderate rounding, consistent with a PSA 5 EX range; no sharp razor points are visible, and at least 2-3 corners show light wear. Surface shows the typical Wonder Bread print grain/dot pattern inherent to the set; no obvious creases are visible in this photo, but the image angle and card-stand shadow limit a definitive crease assessment. Gloss appears partially intact but somewhat muted, consistent with light handling wear; back condition and corner closeups are unavailable, widening the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~70/30 left-right favor); top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically so on the vertical axis. The yellow bottom border and blue right Star Wars banner appear intact with no obvious chipping. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to photo angle and resolution, but the two visible corners (bottom-left, bottom-right) show what appears to be mild-to-moderate rounding consistent with an EX range card. Surface gloss appears present but the image quality and angle make it impossible to confirm the degree of gloss loss, print defects, or edge wear with confidence. No creases are visible from this photo, but the photo does not allow close corner inspection — range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom) — off-center but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left most apparent), consistent with VG to VG-EX range. The yellow border on the bottom and black frame edges show some wear and minor edge roughness. Surface appears to have moderate gloss loss with possible light handling wear; no obvious hard crease is visible from this photo, though subtle surface stress cannot be ruled out. The seller's VG designation is plausible — rounded corners and gloss loss support a PSA 3-4 estimate, with a point grade of 4 (VG-EX) if no hidden crease exists on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM-MT range and not a significant deduction. The black borders show no obvious chipping or whitening at the edges visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this issue. Corners appear lightly worn — they are not razor-sharp but show only minor blunting, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no rounding suggestive of heavy wear. Surface gloss appears present and relatively intact with no obvious creases, scratches, or print defects visible, though the scan resolution limits fine-detail corner and edge assessment. The yellow background area and image appear clean; without a back scan or tight corner closeups, the range is widened to account for hidden wear.
