1977 Wonder Bread Star Wars #9 Chewbacca — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is not catastrophic but off. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, particularly the bottom-left and top-left corners which display significant fraying/crushing; the top-right corner also appears soft. Surface shows notable handling wear and what appears to be scuffing or gloss loss across the face; the black border is worn and shows chipping/whitening along multiple edges, especially the top edge. No crease is definitively visible from this angle but the overall wear pattern and corner condition point firmly to VG (3) territory, with a range of 2–4 depending on whether a hidden crease or back damage exists. Wonder Bread cards are notoriously condition-sensitive due to their black borders showing edge wear instantly — this example has clearly been handled extensively.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface: there is a prominent diagonal crease or scuff line running across the lower-center of the card face, clearly visible; additional surface wear and loss of gloss are evident throughout. Edges: the black borders show chipping and wear along multiple edges. The combination of rounded corners, a visible surface crease, and significant gloss loss puts this squarely in the PSA 3 (VG) neighborhood, with PSA 2 possible if the crease is deeper than it appears, or PSA 4 if it is a surface scuff rather than a true crease.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 off-center left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — centering is notably off but not miscut territory. The black border on the left edge appears noticeably wider than the right, which is a consistent centering flaw for this issue. Corner inspection shows visible rounding on at least the upper-left and lower-left corners; upper-right and lower-right are partially obscured by the vertical logo strip but appear similarly soft. Surface shows moderate gloss loss consistent with handling wear, and there is some tonal yellowing/aging visible in the yellow title banner area. No obvious hard creases are detectable from this scan, but the image compression limits confidence — a light crease cannot be ruled out. Overall condition consistent with a handled mid-grade copy in the VG-EX to EX range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), suggesting moderate off-center on the vertical axis. The black borders show no obvious chipping or major edge wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear to have light rounding — no sharp points evident on any of the four corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears moderate with some flatness suggesting light handling wear; no creases are visible but the CoMC watermark obscures the lower-center area making a definitive surface call impossible. The Wonder Bread food-issue stock is thinner than Topps and shows wear more readily; absent visible creases or major corner damage, a grade in the EX (5) range seems most probable, with the range widened to account for hidden corner/surface detail.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not severely miscut. Black borders on Wonder Bread cards show wear more readily than colored Topps borders; the right and bottom black borders show what appears to be slight edge fraying or lightening consistent with handling wear. Corners appear to have minor rounding, particularly at the lower-left and upper-left, suggesting EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling, and the CoMC watermark obscures the center of the card face making precise surface defect assessment impossible. Given the corner wear, moderate centering issue, and partial gloss loss, a PSA 5 (EX) is the most likely outcome, with 4 possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than the photo reveals.

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 acceptable for a PSA 6-7 range. Black borders on Wonder Bread cards show wear readily; the borders appear intact with no obvious chipping or whitening at edges visible from this photo, but fine edge wear cannot be ruled out. Corners are not clearly resolved at this scan resolution — they appear reasonably sharp but may show light rounding consistent with EX-MT to NM condition; no creasing or surface wrinkling is visible on the face. Print quality appears typical for the issue with slight color variation; gloss level is difficult to confirm from the scan, introducing uncertainty that widens the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right border (black frame); rough ratio approximately 70/30 left-to-right, and top/bottom appears closer to 60/40 — both are marginal but not catastrophic for this set. The CoMC watermark obscures the lower-center of the card surface, making surface condition assessment difficult there. Corner sharpness is hard to evaluate at this resolution but the upper corners appear to show slight softening; no obvious major rounding is visible. The black border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear along the edges. No creases are detectable from this view, but the watermark blocks confirmation of the lower surface. Range widened due to CoMC logo obstruction and compressed image quality preventing reliable corner and surface assessment.

Centering: left border ~8px, right border ~12px (L/R roughly 60/40 acceptable); top border ~6px, bottom border ~10px (T/B roughly 60/40) — centering is decent but borders are thin overall as typical for Wonder Bread issues. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softened), consistent with a VG range card. Surface shows some gloss loss and there appears to be a light crease or handling mark in the lower-left quadrant of the image area, plus some surface wear consistent with the seller's 'VG' self-disclosure. Edges appear intact without major chipping but show light wear; Wonder Bread cards are notoriously soft-stock and grade conservatively — the visible corner rounding and apparent surface crease push this solidly into VG (3), with a slight possibility of VG-EX (4) if the lower-left disturbance is a print artifact rather than a crease.

Centering estimate: left black border appears narrower than right (the STAR WARS vertical logo side), suggesting approximately 60/40 left-to-right; top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45, acceptable for the grade. Corners appear relatively intact from this distance — no severe rounding or peeling is visible, but the CoMC watermark obscures the lower corners and bottom edge detail substantially, preventing confident corner assessment. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases visible, though the watermark and image compression make it impossible to rule out light surface wear or print defects. The grade range is deliberately wide given the CoMC obstruction covering critical grading areas; a collector should seek a cleaner scan before committing to a purchase at grade-sensitive pricing.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. The black borders on Wonder Bread cards are notoriously unforgiving of edge wear; the right edge and bottom edge appear to show some fraying or roughness consistent with moderate handling. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to the COMC watermark and image resolution, but the lower-left corner in particular shows what appears to be rounding or soft wear suggesting at least VG-EX (4) territory. Surface shows some potential toning or print noise consistent with this food-issue stock, but no obvious creases are visible from this photo — the range is widened because Wonder Bread cards used thinner stock than Topps and corner/edge condition is hard to confirm definitively from a single seller image with a watermark overlay.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. The black borders show significant wear and chipping on all four edges, particularly noticeable at the corners, which appear rounded and show stress. Surface exhibits visible creasing or wrinkling in the lower-left quadrant and general gloss loss across the face. The CoMC watermark partially obscures the surface for fine inspection. Overall condition indicators — rounded corners, edge wear, surface crease, and gloss loss — point to a VG to VG-EX range, with VG (3) being the most likely grade; a 4 is possible if the surface crease proves shallower than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 55-60% of total horizontal border space, right border 40-45%, so left/right runs approximately 58/42 — acceptable for NM range; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, roughly 55/45 top-to-bottom, within tolerance. The black borders on Wonder Bread cards mask chipping well but the right vertical edge of the black border shows some slight wear and the bottom-left corner appears to have very mild rounding visible at this resolution. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible. The photo is a single angled overhead shot without corner closeups, so corner condition cannot be precisely confirmed — the range is widened accordingly to account for hidden wear that commonly affects these bread-issue cards, which were distributed loose in packages and often handled heavily.

Centering estimate: left black border appears roughly 2–3mm, right border (behind the vertical logo) appears similar, top border roughly 3–4mm, bottom border slightly wider — centering looks approximately 55/45 L/R and 60/40 T/B, which would be acceptable, but the sleeve and angle make precision difficult. Corners: at this resolution through the sleeve, all four corners show visible rounding — no sharp points detected, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges: the black borders show some chipping/wear, particularly along the bottom edge which appears slightly rough. Surface: image area shows some light surface wear and possible minor soiling or print aging; gloss appears partially present but diminished. The seller's title says 'READ,' suggesting self-disclosed flaws — given the corner rounding and edge wear visible, a grade of 4 (VG-EX) feels most probable, with 3 (VG) possible if a crease is present on the reverse or if corner rounding is more severe than the sleeve allows us to confirm.

Centering estimate: left black border appears noticeably wider than the right border — roughly 70/30 left-to-right; top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 top-heavy, so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. The black borders on Wonder Bread cards are narrow by design, making edge wear harder to assess, but the right edge shows some lightening/wear consistent with handling. Corners are not sharp under this resolution — the upper-left and lower-left corners appear slightly rounded, suggesting light to moderate wear in the EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with no obvious creases visible, but the scan quality limits confidence in detecting fine surface issues. Overall the card presents as a mid-grade example, likely EX (5) with the possibility of sliding to VG-EX (4) if corners are more rounded than the photo reveals, or EX-MT (6) if the apparent border softness is photographic artifact rather than true wear.
